Early and six-month assessment of bi-ventricular functions following surgical closure of atrial septal defect.
Article in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe effect of surgical closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) on biventricular functions is not well studied. We studied effect of surgical closure of ASD on bi-ventricular functions.
methodsPatients undergoing surgical closure of ASD from December 2007 to June 2009 had 3 sequential echocardiograms examination: pre-procedure, post surgery at 1-month and at 6-month of follow up. Pulse Doppler velocities across mitral and tricuspid valves were measured as peak early diastolic (E wave) and peak late diastolic (A wave). Tissue Doppler velocities across lateral wall of both right ventricle (RV) and left ventricle (LV) were measured as peak early diastolic (E'), peak late diastolic (A'), and peak systolic (S') wave. Radionuclide angiography was performed to assess RV and LV ejection fraction at baseline and at 1-month follow up.
resultsThe mean age of 20 enrolled patients was 21.85 ± 10.9 years; 8 females & 12 males. Trans-tricuspid flow velocities significantly decreased following surgery at one and 6-month (p < 0.005). There was no significant change in trans-mitral flow velocities at one and 6-months. Tricuspid and mitral E/A ratio and E/E' ratio also had an insignificant change following surgery. There was no significant change in LV ejection fraction as assessed by echocardiography (p = 0.132) and radionuclide scan (p = 0.143). Right ventricular ejection fraction had a significant improvement at 1-month of follow up (p = 0.005).
conclusionsThere was a significant improvement in RV systolic function and an insignificant change in RV and LV diastolic functions following surgical closure of ASD.
