Effect of Delayed Surgery for Ventricular Septal Rupture on Postoperative Outcomes.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThe prognosis of ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after acute myocardial infarction remains poor; hence, surgical repair is essential. However, the appropriate timing for surgical intervention remains unclear. We aimed to compare the prognosis between early (<96 hours) and delayed (≥96 hours) surgery for VSR.
methodsThis single-center, retrospective cohort study used data from 49 patients who underwent VSR repair after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) between 2007 and 2022 at our institution. In-hospital and one-, three-, and 10-year mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events were compared between the early (group A) and delayed (group B) surgery after AMI.
resultsNo significant differences were found between the patients' backgrounds of the two groups. The in-hospital mortality rates were 37.5 and 16.0% for groups A and B, respectively (
conclusionsThese results showed that patients who underwent surgery for VSR 96 hours after AMI had better long-term survival than those who underwent surgery within 96 hours.
