Successful emergency surgical intervention in acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with rupture: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2025. 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
backgroundThe incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is rising, with cardiac rupture accounting for approximately 2% of deaths in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Ventricular free wall rupture (FWR) occurs in approximately 2% of AMI patients and is notably rare in patients with non-STEMI. Types of cardiac rupture include left ventricular FWR, ventricular septal rupture, and papillary muscle rupture. The FWR usually leads to acute cardiac tamponade or electromechanical dissociation, where standard resuscitation efforts may not be effective. Ventricular septal rupture and papillary muscle rupture often result in refractory heart failure, with mortality rates over 50%, even with surgical or percutaneous repair options. CASE SUMMARY: We present a rare case of an acute non-STEMI patient who suffered sudden FWR causing cardiac tamponade and loss of consciousness immediate before undergoing coronary angiography. Prompt resuscitation and emergency open-heart repair along with coronary artery bypass grafting resulted in successful patient recovery.
conclusionThis case emphasizes the risks of AMI complications, shares a successful treatment scenario, and discusses measures to prevent such complications.
