Full-Scale 3D Printing as a Guide to Right Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Due to Chronic Pacemaker Lead Erosion.
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
backgroundVentricular pseudoaneurysm formation due to longstanding lead erosion is rare, and standardized guidelines for diagnosis and management are limited. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of a right ventricular pseudoaneurysm noted on computed tomography after a patient with a pacemaker, originally placed in 2013, was admitted for respiratory failure. PolyJet three-dimensional printing was employed to assist in presurgical planning and evaluating the spatial anatomic relationship of the lead to the ventricular outpouching. The pseudoaneurysm was eventually excised, and the myocardial defect was closed. DISCUSSION: Pseudoaneurysms lack both standardized clinical presentations and management guidelines, making diagnosis challenging. Imaging is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Cardiac-gated computed tomography is particularly valuable in diagnosing right ventricular pseudoaneurysms when other imaging modalities are technically challenging or inconclusive. Three-dimensional printing enhances the diagnosis of and preoperative planning for rare conditions such as pseudoaneurysms.
