Procedure planning and device positioning for left atrial appendage occlusion: insights from multi detector-row computed tomography with 3D fusion.
Article in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
To compare planned and achieved device position in patients undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). It is unclear how devices used for LAAO position themselves compared to what is planned. All patients undergoing LAAO at our institution had pre- and post-procedural multi detector-row computed tomography (MDCT) at 3 months (N = 52). Using dedicated software, both datasets were fused to superimpose the left atria in all planes. The effective device position was traced on the post-procedural MDCT and then imported in the pre-procedural dataset to allow comparisons. Planned and effective landing zones were compared with respect to size, location and orientation. The device's final position was in a significantly larger landing zone than planned (452 ± 174 vs. 351 ± 112 mm
