Conservatively treated intramyocardial dissecting haematoma of the interventricular septum as a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction: a case report.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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: Intramyocardial dissecting haematoma (IDH) is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of acute coronary syndrome. So far only isolated case reports and case series have been published. Case summary: We report the case of a late presenting myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by IDH of the ventricular septum, following a successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The clinically inapparent septal mass was discovered during the routine transthoracic echocardiography and the final diagnosis of haematoma was made by magnetic resonance imaging. The patient remained clinically stable, and septal mass on repeated echocardiography showed gradual regression. Discussion: This report suggests that IDH can spontaneously resolve without surgical intervention. An urgent echocardiogram should be used to assess the vitality of the myocardial tissue, especially with late presenting MI with deep Q-waves on the electrocardiogram strip. Conservative treatment in haemodynamically stable patients with IDH following MI and PCI is a feasible solution.
