Advances in Surgical Treatments of Left Ventricular Aneurysms.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Despite improvements in the early intervention of myocardial infarction (MI) in recent decades, left ventricular aneurysms (LVA) remain a major health concern, particularly in developing nations. The progression of MI can lead to the thinning of the myocardial wall and the formation of a ventricular wall bulge, characteristic of an LVA. Furthermore, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as the gold standard for LVA diagnosis due to its superior imaging capabilities. Notably, surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) is an effective treatment for LVA, aiming to restore the normal volume and structure of the left ventricle, thereby improving cardiac function. However, the criteria for selecting patients for SVR treatment remains a subject of debate. This review focuses on the current understanding of surgical indications, procedures, and prognostic risk factors that influence outcomes in left ventricular reconstruction, highlighting the need for precise patient selection to optimize surgical benefits.
