1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic is having a major impact on healthcare systems worldwide. Several months after the COVID-19 outbreak, waiting lists of non-urgent structural heart (SH) interventions continue to increase. Limitations in terms of ICU beds and anesthesiology represent a major limitation to conduct non-urgent SH interventions and are a valid reason to move towards less invasive approaches. The field of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) reflects this challenging situation perfectly. The aim of this paper is to describe the possibilities for pre-procedural LAA assessment, performance of the LAAO procedure and post-procedural surveillance in these challenging times.
