Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm After Sutureless Repair for Post-Myocardial Infarction Oozing-Type Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture.

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
A 66-year-old male patient underwent repair using the sutureless technique for an oozing-type cardiac rupture associated with myocardial infarction of the anterior left ventricular wall. On postoperative day 10, echocardiography revealed a thrombus in the apex region, and anticoagulation therapy was started with warfarin. The thrombus disappeared two months postoperatively. Four months after surgery, the patient came to the hospital with a chief complaint of breathlessness. The computer tomography scan showed a pseudoaneurysm in the left ventricular anterior wall. Because of breathlessness due to decreased effective cardiac output associated with the left ventricular mass and the risk of rupture of the left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, we decided that surgery was indicated. When the left ventricular pseudoaneurysm was incised under cardiac arrest using an artificial heart-lung machine, an oval-shaped communication orifice was found, which was closed directly with continuous sutures. The breathlessness disappeared and the patient was discharged 13 days after surgery.
