Clinical Value of Limb-Lead R-Wave Amplitude in Predicting Cardiac Rupture After Acute Anterior Myocardial Infarction Undergoing PCI.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2026. 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
Background: Cardiac rupture remains a fatal complication of acute anterior myocardial infarction (AAMI), especially in the high-risk subset that develops left ventricular aneurysm (LVA). This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of the average R-wave voltage in the electrocardiographic limb leads (AVRE) for cardiac rupture in this specific AAMI with LVA population. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-center study of 249 AAMI patients undergoing primary PCI, comparing 63 with cardiac rupture (CR group) to 186 without (Control group). Key inclusion criteria were typical chest pain and ST-segment elevation on ECG. AVRE was measured on admission ECG. Multivariate logistic regression and ROC curve analysis were used to identify independent predictors and assess the predictive performance of AVRE. Results: Patients with cardiac rupture had a significantly lower average limb-lead R-wave voltage (AVRE) than controls (2.33 vs 3.33 mV, p<0.001). Multivariate analysis identified AVRE and higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as independent predictors (OR: 0.682 and 1.057, respectively; both p<0.01). The predictive performance of AVRE was significant (AUC: 0.656), with an optimal cutoff of <2.92 mV yielding a sensitivity of 74.6% and specificity of 59.7%. Conclusion: In this single-center study, a reduced AVRE (<2.92 mV) was an independent predictor of cardiac rupture in patients with AAMI and LVA, suggesting its potential as an accessible tool for risk stratification within this specific high-risk cohort.
