Embolic Myocardial Infarction: Unveiling a Hidden, Life-Threatening Disorder.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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 simultaneous occurrence of pulmonary embolism (PE) and myocardial infarction due to a paradoxical embolism through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a rare but potentially life-threatening clinical condition. We present an exceptionally rare case of concomitant ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and acute PE in a young patient with a large PFO, which ultimately led to the diagnosis of an underlying malignancy. CASE SUMMARY: A 36-year-old woman presented with lateral STEMI. Coronary angiography revealed a large thrombus in a left circumflex artery without atherosclerosis. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed reduced right ventricle function and PFO with a right-to-left shunt. CT pulmonary angiogram confirmed bilateral PE. Further investigation revealed a mass in the left distal femur, diagnosed as myxoid sarcoma via biopsy. DISCUSSION: This case highlights the importance of considering embolic sources in young patients with STEMI, especially when no significant coronary artery disease is found.
