Transcatheter closure of ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in a pregnant woman.
Article in Journal of cardiology cases, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly that is usually congenital, but may be acquired. They are usually asymptomatic unless they compress adjacent structures, develop thrombosis, or rupture. A ruptured SVA (RSVA) can lead to rapid hemodynamic deterioration and often needs to be addressed emergently. Surgical correction has traditionally been the treatment of choice for RSVA; however, lately they have been successfully closed percutaneously using various transcatheter devices. Few cases of RSVA during pregnancy have been reported which were conservatively or surgically managed. There is no documented case of transcatheter closure of RSVA during pregnancy. We report the first case of successful percutaneous device closure of RSVA using an Amplatzer duct occluder in a pregnant woman presenting with heart failure due to RSVA at 26 weeks of gestation.
