ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) in a Morphologically Pediatric Adult With Seckel Syndrome: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 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
Seckel syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe growth retardation, microcephaly, and distinctive craniofacial features. Although cardiovascular anomalies have been sporadically reported, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been documented in this population. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first case of anterior STEMI in a 30-year-old male with Seckel syndrome. The patient, weighing 11.5 kg, presented with acute chest and back pain and was diagnosed with anteroseptal STEMI. His complex medical history, including a coiled intracranial aneurysm, precluded thrombolysis, while his small body size and the absence of pediatric-compatible equipment rendered percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) unfeasible. Despite maximal intensive care support, the patient developed multiorgan failure and died. This case highlights the expanding cardiovascular manifestations of Seckel syndrome and the difficulties in applying standard STEMI management protocols to morphologically pediatric adults. The lack of specialized interventional tools and infrastructure in many regions further complicates care. This underscores the urgent need for multidisciplinary care models and specialized pediatric interventional cardiology services for syndromic adults.
