Right Ventricular Perforation After Vertebroplasty.

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
case summaryA 75-year-old woman presented with cardiac tamponade 6 months after percutaneous vertebroplasty following an otherwise asymptomatic course. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed pericardial effusion and a hyperechoic linear structure penetrating the right ventricular free wall. Comparison of radiographs demonstrated interval migration of bone cement into the cardiac silhouette, and computed tomography clearly demonstrated right ventricular free wall perforation. Surgical findings confirmed the diagnosis. Although intracardiac cement embolism has been reported, delayed presentation after an asymptomatic course is rare. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Delayed, clinically silent bone cement migration can present as life-threatening cardiac tamponade. Serial radiography, echocardiography, and computed tomography are critical for recognizing delayed intracardiac cement migration and guiding urgent surgical management.
