Acute Heart Failure Caused by a Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm: A Rare Presentation.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular echography. 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
Sinus of valsalva aneurysm (SOV) is a rare aortic pathology that may be congenital or acquired and often remains clinically silent until rupture. When rupture occurs, it can lead to acute and life-threatening hemodynamic deterioration. We report the case of a 65-year-old male who presented with sudden-onset dyspnea and peripheral edema and was diagnosed with acute heart failure secondary to a ruptured SOV. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, followed by computed tomography angiography, demonstrated a ruptured aneurysm originating from the noncoronary sinus with significant left-to-right shunting. Owing to extensive aortic root involvement, the patient underwent a Bentall procedure with successful clinical outcome. This case highlights the importance of considering ruptured SOV in the differential diagnosis of acute heart failure, particularly in elderly patients, and underscores the critical role of comprehensive imaging and timely surgical intervention in guiding optimal management.
