Surgical treatment of left atrial dissection caused by percutaneous coronary intervention.
Article in Cardiovascular journal of Africa. 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
Left atrial dissection (LatD), also known as left atrial intramural haematoma, is a rare condition that requires rapid diagnosis and frequently calls for timely surgical intervention. Diagnosis can be challenging because of a lack of definitive clinical criteria, and a patient's situation can be complicated by co-morbidities, including unstable haemodynamics. We surgically repaired a case of LatD related to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The operation went smoothly, and the patient was discharged one week after the operation. For LatD patients with co-morbidities, especially haemodynamic disorders, active surgical intervention is recommended.
