Percutaneous closure of a large atrial septal defect in a child with severe dextroscoliosis: A case report.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 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
In this study, we present the case of an 11-year-old child with cachexia, severe dextroscoliosis, pectus carinatum, secondary restrictive pulmonary disease, and an incidental finding of a large ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) that was identified on preoperative assessment for surgical correction of the spinal deformity. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography confirmed significant left-to-right shunting with a pulmonary blood flow to systemic blood flow ratio (Qp/Qs) of 3.18 through a 14 mm defect with good circumferential rims, larger than 5 mm. Despite significant left-to-right shunting, the defect was found prior to the development of pulmonary hypertension or right heart enlargement. The decision to close the atrial septal defect by percutaneous intervention was preferred over surgical closure, due to the restrictive pulmonary physiology and low body mass index (12.6 kg/m
