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

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP), a rare but life-threatening complication following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has an incidence of approximately 0.5% and a high mortality rate due to its significant risk of rupture. Early detection and timely surgical intervention are crucial. The diagnosis of LVP can be effectively achieved through various imaging modalities, including transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography angiography, and left ventriculography. However, determining the optimal therapeutic strategy requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary discussion approach and individualized consideration. This report presents a challenging case of a patient who experienced recurrent AMI 25 years after the initial event, with an incidental discovery of a calcified LVP. The distinctive features of this case include the long-term presence of a calcified pseudoaneurysm without rupture and the successful management strategy employed following the recurrent AMI.
