Immediate and short term effects of percutaneous atrial septal defect device closure on cardiac electrical remodeling in children.
Article in The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 beneficial effects of atrial septal defect (ASD) device closure on electrical cardiac remodeling are well established. The timing at which these effects starts to take place has yet to be determined.
objectivesTo determine the immediate and short term effects of ASD device closure on cardiac electric remodeling in children.
methods30 pediatric patients were subjected to 12 lead Electrocardiogram immediately before ASD device closure, 24 h post procedure, 1 and 6 months after. The maximum and minimum P wave and QT durations in any of the 12 leads were recorded and P wave and QT dispersions were calculated and compared using paired
resultsThe immediate 24 h follow up electrocardiogram showed significant decrease in P maximum (140.2 ± 6 versus 130.67 ± 5.4 ms), P dispersion (49.73 ± 9.01 versus 41.43 ± 7.65 ms), PR interval (188.7 ± 6.06 ms versus 182.73 ± 5.8 ms), QRS duration (134.4 ± 4.97 ms versus 127.87 ± 4.44), QT maximum (619.07 ± 15.73 ms versus 613.43 ± 11.87), and QT dispersion (67.6 ± 5.31 versus 62.6 ± 4.68 ms) (P = 0.001). After 1 month all the parameters measured showed further significant decrease with P dispersion reaching 32.13 ± 6 (P = 0.001) and QT dispersion reaching 55.0 ± 4.76 (P = 0.001). These effects were maintained 6 months post device closure.
conclusionPercutaneous ASD device closure can reverse electrical changes in atrial and ventricular myocardium as early as the first 24 h post device closure.
