Extremely Late Post-Infarction Ventricular Septal Rupture: A Case Report of Successful Surgical Repair.
Article in Archivos peruanos de cardiologia y cirugia cardiovascular. 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
Mechanical complications of ST-elevation myocardial infarction have become rare in high-income settings due to timely reperfusion. However, they remain more prevalent and carry a high mortality in regions lacking access to early reperfusion. We present a 62-year-old man with inferior STEMI managed conservatively without reperfusion. At four months, he developed progressive dyspnea. One year later, echocardiography revealed a large basal ventricular septal rupture and severe eccentric mitral regurgitation, all absent at discharge. The patient's transfer to a cardiovascular surgery center was delayed by two years, a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Imaging confirmed an inferobasal left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, basal ventricular septal rupture, severe mitral regurgitation, and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 45%. Right heart catheterization showed a significant left-to-right shunt; coronary angiography revealed multivessel coronary artery disease. He underwent successful surgical repair and remained asymptomatic at the three-year follow-up.
