Silent Inferolateral Postinfarction Left Ventricular Outpouching With Thrombus: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Assessment.
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 aneurysms (VAs) are rare complications of infarction. Inferolateral aneurysms with thrombus are uncommon and are often difficult to differentiate from pseudoaneurysms. CASE SUMMARY: A 60-year-old man with diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia was evaluated after incidental electrocardiographic evidence of inferior infarction and echocardiographic suspicion of pseudoaneurysm. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed a large inferolateral VA with transmural fibrosis, preserved myocardial continuity, and an intracavitary thrombus. Coronary angiography showed diffuse right coronary disease with chronic occlusion of the posterolateral branch. Conservative management was chosen given transmural scar, absence of viability, unfavorable anatomy, and hemodynamic stability. Medical therapy included guideline-directed heart failure treatment, statin, and anticoagulation. DISCUSSION: Inferolateral VAs with thrombus are rare postinfarction findings. Cardiac magnetic resonance provides anatomic delineation, thrombus detection, and distinction from pseudoaneurysm. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: VAs with intracavitary thrombus are rare and often clinically silent. Cardiac magnetic resonance is the gold standard for differentiating true aneurysms from pseudoaneurysms and for detecting thrombus. Early identification, even in asymptomatic patients, is critical to guide therapy and reduce systemic embolic risk.
