Pulmonary Artery Perforation by Atrial Appendage Closure Device and the Contribution of Auricular Contraction to Its Pathogenesis.
Article in CJC open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We report the case of an 83-year-old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who underwent successful percutaneous left atrial appendage closure with the LAmbre device, being in sinus rhythm at implantation. Suddenly, the patient experienced cardiac tamponade and died within a few minutes. Autopsy revealed a slight protrusion of the LAmbre device into the atrial appendage wall, and pulmonary artery laceration. This is the first published report of pulmonary artery perforation by the LAmbre device. This case highlights the need for a detailed imaging study before this procedure is performed, to assess left atrial appendage movement/contraction in patients in sinus rhythm.
