[Electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage : Benefits and risks].
Review in Herz, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The left atrial appendage (LAA) is an extension originating from the body of the left atrium. The LAA is derived from the primary atrium and shows anatomical and physiological deviations from the left atrium. Different LAA morphologies exist. The LAA is not only the most frequent origin of intracardiac thrombi, it also frequently shows triggers responsible for the initiation or maintenance of atrial tachyarrhythmia and atrial fibrillation (AF). Isolation of the LAA using radiofrequency energy in addition to isolation of the pulmonary vein has recently gained importance due to the potential for increasing the clinical success rates, particularly in patients with persistent and long-standing persistent AF; however, after LAA isolation the incidence of LAA thrombi and systemic thromboembolisms might be increased even under treatment with oral anticoagulants, depending on the ablation strategy used. Thus, mechanical occlusion of the LAA should be discussed with patients after electrical isolation of the LAA.
