Role of PFO Closure in Ischemic Stroke Prevention.
Review in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewTo highlight recent advancements in the management of acute ischemic stroke patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO). RECENT
findingsOne significant recent development was publication of long-term follow-up data from the RESPECT trial demonstrating evidence in favor of PFO closure over medical management. This data subsequently led to FDA approval for AMPLATZER™ septal occluder in the treatment of patients aged 18 to 60 years with both PFO and no other determined etiology for ischemic stroke, otherwise referred to as embolic stroke of undetermined source. Several subsequent closure trial results have recently been published, which also demonstrated benefit of PFO closure over medical management for ischemic stroke risk reduction in select patients. Based on the results of the more recently published REDUCE trial, the FDA granted approval for the GORE™ septal occluder. There is current, well-established evidence that PFO closure for secondary stroke prevention is effective in select cases.
