Secundum atrial septal defect in adults: a practical review and recent developments.
Article in Netherlands heart journal : monthly journal of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology and the Netherlands Heart Foundation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Secundum atrial septal defect (ASDII) is a common congenital heart defect that causes shunting of blood between the systemic and pulmonary circulations. Patients with an isolated ASDII often remain asymptomatic during childhood and adolescence. If the defect remains untreated, however, the rates of exercise intolerance, supraventricular arrhythmias, right ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) increase with patient age, and life expectancy is reduced. Transcatheter and surgical techniques both provide valid options for ASDII closure, the former being the preferred method. With the exception of those with severe and irreversible PAH, closure is beneficial to, and thus indicated in all patients with significant shunts, regardless of age and symptoms. The symptomatic and survival benefits conferred by defect closure are inversely related to patient age and the presence of PAH, supporting timely closure after diagnosis. In this paper we review the management of adult patients with an isolated ASDII, with a focus on aspects of importance to the decision regarding defect closure and medical follow-up.
