Posterior STEMI presenting as painless, isolated left arm numbness and weakness: a case report.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This case describes an atypical presentation of isolated posterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), who presented with left arm numbness and weakness, mimicking an acute stroke. Diagnosis was confirmed with coronary angiogram showing occlusion in proximal left circumflex artery, as well as rise in troponin. This atypical presentation highlights the importance of maintaining high index of suspicion and casting a wide net of differential diagnoses in initial assessment of patient in the emergency department.
