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
backgroundVentricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but life-threatening complication following myocardial infarction (MI). While traditional management typically involves surgical repair, percutaneous closure techniques are increasingly being considered, particularly in cases where surgery is challenging or patients are high risk. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 62-year-old male with anterior ST-segment elevation MI, complicated by a large VSR. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed an 11.8-mm VSR, hypokinetic anteroseptal and anterior walls, and an ejection fraction of 52%. Surgical repair was considered high risk due to the patient's advanced age, hypertension, anterior MI and apical VSR. Consequently, the heart team opted for a transjugular percutaneous closure approach. A 20-mm ASD occluder device was successfully deployed across the defect, as confirmed by cineangiography. Post-procedure, the patient showed clinical improvement, with resolution of the murmur and stabilization of hemodynamics. Follow-up TTE demonstrated proper occluder placement with minimal residual shunt.
conclusionsThis case highlights the feasibility and effectiveness of transjugular percutaneous closure for managing complex VSR post-MI, especially in patients unsuitable for surgical repair.
