ST-elevation myocardial infarction following road traffic accident in a young patient: a case report.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 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: Acute myocardial infarction is a rare complication in the context of road traffic accidents, with an estimated incidence of approximately 13 per 10 000 trauma cases. Only a few reported cases have undergone coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Case summary: A 30-year-old man was admitted to the trauma unit following blunt chest trauma, limb fractures and pelvic haematoma sustained in a pedestrian road traffic accident. Serial electrocardiogram monitoring revealed new anterolateral ST elevation, with cardiac biomarkers confirming myocardial injury. Following thorough clinical assessment and a multidisciplinary team discussion, the patient was taken for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Coronary angiography demonstrated proximal total occlusion of the left anterior descending artery, which was successfully treated with intravascular ultrasound-guided PCI using a drug-eluting stent. Discussion: Primary PCI was performed without complication in a patient with anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) secondary to blunt chest trauma, following exclusion of active bleeding. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and the careful balance required between bleeding risk and timely revascularization in trauma patients presenting with STEMI.
