Atypical Posterior Myocardial Infarction With Minimal Symptoms: Diagnostic Impact of Point-of-Care Ultrasound.
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
Posterior myocardial infarction (PMI) is frequently under-recognised due to its non-classical electrocardiographic (ECG) presentation and variable symptom profile. We report a case of a 39-year-old male patient presenting with minimal chest pain and subtle ECG changes, in whom bedside point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) played a pivotal role in diagnosis. Despite an initial low-risk clinical impression and non-diagnostic ECG findings, POCUS revealed regional wall motion abnormalities, prompting urgent cardiology reassessment. Subsequent transthoracic echocardiography confirmed inferior wall hypokinesia, and coronary angiography identified a proximal right coronary artery lesion due to plaque erosion, requiring percutaneous coronary intervention. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion in atypical presentations and highlights the value of POCUS in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and timely clinical decision-making.
