Multiple Complications Following Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advances in early reperfusion and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a subset of patients develops severe arrhythmic, thrombotic, and mechanical complications that markedly worsen prognosis and require rapid recognition and multidisciplinary management. We describe a 66-year-old man with multiple cardiovascular risk factors who presented with an anteroseptal ST-elevation myocardial infarction and underwent urgent PCI with stent implantation in the left anterior descending artery. Eighteen hours later, he developed recurrent ischemia due to acute stent thrombosis, consistent with type 4b myocardial infarction, requiring repeat coronary intervention. His subsequent intensive care unit course was complicated by atrial fibrillation, acute ischemic heart failure, and progressive hemodynamic instability. Bedside transthoracic echocardiography identified a left ventricular aneurysm with intracavitary thrombus, severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, and a large pericardial effusion causing cardiac tamponade. Emergency surgical pericardial window confirmed hemopericardium. After prompt surgical intervention and optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy, the patient achieved clinical stabilization and was discharged with close follow-up. This case highlights the dynamic and multifaceted nature of AMI, emphasizing that even with timely reperfusion, patients may develop a cascade of life-threatening complications. Early clinical vigilance, repeated imaging, and coordinated multidisciplinary care are essential to improve outcomes in complex post-infarction presentations.
