Transcatheter closure through single venous approach for young children with patent ductus arteriosus: A retrospective study of 686 cases.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The objective is to explore the feasibility and safety of transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) through single venous approach in Chinese young children.A total of 1088 patients aged between 9 months old to 3 years old who underwent transcatheter closure of PDA from May 2004 to May 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. All the procedures were under ultrasound monitoring. The shape and size of PDA as well as immediate therapeutic results were recorded by angiography and ultrasonography. The size of occluder was individually selected according to the smallest diameter of the PDAs. Echocardiography was respectively performed 3 days, 1month, 6 months, and 12 months after the procedure to evaluate the outcomes.Among the total 1088 children, transcatheter closure of PDA was accomplished through single venous approach that was performed in 686 cases. The average weight and age of the children were 10.9 ± 3.6 kg (5.0-14.3 kg) and 1.8 ± 1.6 years (9 months-3 years), respectively. The fluoroscopic time was about 5.1 to 11.6 minutes. Successful device placement with the initially selected occluder was achieved in 662 cases. In other 14 cases, the procedure was eventually completed after being replaced with a larger occluder; while in the other 10 cases, smaller occluders were applied to replace the initial ones. Technically, all the procedures were successfully performed. All the patients were followed up for 15.6 ± 8.2 years. No serious complications and death were observed during the follow-up.Transcatheter closure of PDA with occluder by single venous approach is an effective and reliable method in vast majority of young children.
