Coronary embolism resulting in myocardial infarction: diagnosis and treatment.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundCoronary embolism (CE) is rare and is an unusual cause of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Japan NCVC criteria of CE were the first criteria that did not be verified and accepted.
methodsWe collected all the CE patients in our hospital between 2015 and 2021, analyzed the characters, diagnosis, and treatment, and confirmed the value of Japan NCVC criteria.
resultsEighteen AMI patients diagnosed with CE were enrolled. Seventeen patients (94.4%) were given PCI treatments. Six patients (33.3%) had artificial heart valves, and three (16.7%) had mechanical valves. Eleven patients (61.1%) had atrial fibrillation (AF), one (5.6%) had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and two (11.1%) had hypercoagulable state. 68.8% of patients had insufficient anticoagulation in this study. Seven patients (38.9%) fulfilled the criteria for definite CE, and nine (50%) were classified as probable CE. The other two patients (11.1%) did not fulfill the criteria of CE with distal coronary artery embolism and one criterion of Japan NCVC criteria. The diagnosis accuracy rate of Japan NCVC criteria was 88.9%. Thrombus aspiration was the first-line treatment used in 14 patients (77.8%) and performed in 9 vessels (47.4%) as the only treatment method.
conclusionsCE is rare in AMI, and AF is the most critical cause which should draw our attention. The Japan NCVC criteria were a helpful diagnostic tool for CE with high accuracy, but the distal coronary artery embolism with moderate atherosclerosis might be overlooked. Thrombus aspiration was the preferred treatment to remove thrombus and restore coronary flow to improve prognosis.
