Left Thoracotomy as an Alternative to Redo Sternotomy in a Case of Left Ventricle Rupture.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is a rare but serious complication following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), occurring in a small fraction of patients. Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture presents as three types: There are three types of Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture: Type 1 with an abrupt tear and high mortality, Type 2 with a slower tear, and Type 3 with aneurysm perforation. Despite reperfusion therapies, LVFWR remains concerning due to increased mortality described from 75% to 90%. We present a case of LVFWR in a 64-year-old with a history of previous aortic valve surgery and heart failure, managed through left thoracotomy surgical repair. Our approach led to successful repair, emphasizing collaborative intraoperative strategies for improved outcomes in LVFWR cases.
