Pulmonary ridge coverage and device-related thrombosis after left atrial appendage occlusion.
Article in EuroIntervention : journal of EuroPCR in collaboration with the Working Group on Interventional Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
aimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of pulmonary ridge (PR) coverage on both clinical and imaging follow-up outcomes in patients undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). METHODS AND
resultsThe study included consecutive patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who underwent LAAO with disc and lobe devices. Patients were classified into two groups according to the PR coverage. A total of 147 patients were included. Among these, the PR was covered in 109 (74%) and uncovered in 38 (26%). Successful implantation was achieved in 98.6%. No differences in procedural outcomes were observed between the groups. The rate of procedural major adverse events was 3% (only major bleedings and/or vascular access complications). No device embolisation, cardiac tamponade or in-hospital mortality was observed. After a mean follow-up of 1.77±2.2 years, the annualised ischaemic stroke and major bleeding rate was 1.3%/year and 6.5%/year, respectively, without differences between groups. At follow-up, patients with a covered PR presented a lower incidence of device-related thrombosis (DRT) (1%) than those with an uncovered PR (27%); p<0.001. In multivariable analysis, the presence of PR coverage emerged as an independent predictor of DRT.
conclusionsPulmonary ridge coverage was associated with a lower incidence of DRT after LAAO. Procedural and follow-up clinical outcomes did not differ between covered PR and uncovered PR patients.
