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 closure of small/coincidental atrial septal defects (ASDs) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has been described in recent major guidelines as useless or even contraindicated. We confirm the effectiveness of "Treat and Repair" for ASD closure through one patient diagnosed with idiopathic PAH with small ASD, under careful observation with right heart catheterization and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The clinical decision concerning the closure of ASD with PAH should be made not only by referring to the guidelines but also by evaluating the benefits and risks specific to that case.
