1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We present a case of a 22-month-old boy with a hypokinetic and thin-walled aneurysm of the left ventricle apex. The lesion was diagnosed during routine echocardiography examination in the course of MIS-C, and its occurrence due to MIS-C is plausible. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed an akinetic aneurysm of the LV apex with a full-wall ischemic scar. Aortography confirmed a normal course of coronary arteries, with adequate perfusion of essential branches and no evidence of stenosis or aneurysms. The boy underwent consultation with the heart team and was deemed eligible for surgery. The aneurysm was excised up to the margin of healthy tissues, and both the surgery and the periprocedural period were uneventful. Determining the origin of the aneurysm is challenging. The most probable etiology appears to be a congenital lesion. Another consideration is an ischemic lesion that may have resulted from impaired coronary circulation during the complicated course of MIS-C. It is possible that this disturbance resolved spontaneously before aortography was performed. Additionally, a complication of pericarditis cannot be entirely ruled out.
