Severe Aortic and Mitral Regurgitation After Blunt Chest Trauma.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundValvular injuries after blunt chest trauma are rare and are frequently missed during initial trauma assessment. CASE SUMMARY: A 67-year-old man with no prior cardiac disease fell from a height of 10 to 12 m and was initially treated for multiple traumatic injuries at a local hospital. After clinical deterioration, he was transferred to our hospital, where echocardiography revealed severe aortic and mitral regurgitation. Emergency surgery was performed, including aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair; however, the patient developed refractory postoperative heart failure and died. DISCUSSION: Traumatic valvular injuries may result from abrupt intracardiac pressure changes during vulnerable phases of the cardiac cycle. Delayed recognition can lead to rapid hemodynamic collapse and multiorgan failure. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Early echocardiographic evaluation should be considered in patients with severe blunt chest trauma to avoid missed traumatic valvular injuries.
