Trans-Catheter Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus, which device should we use?
Article in La Tunisie medicale. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Despite the operational experience in the percutaneous closure of Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), complications can arise during the procedure. To overcome these complications the choice of the device must be adapted to each patient.
aimTo report the experience of the cardiology department in the transcatheter device closure of PDA and to determine the influencing factors of choice of the device.
methodsOur study included patients with patent ductus arteriosus that are admitted for transcatheter closure, between September 2003 and June 2016.
resultOne hundred and fifty-three patients were included in our study. Transcatheter closure was not done in 9 cases. The transcatheter closure was successful in 140 patients. The complications were observed in 11 patients that includes device embolization in 3 cases, aortic protrusion in four cases pulmonary protrusion in three cases and inguinal hematoma in one another. Three predictive factors of complications were: age < 2 years, tubular PDA type C and ratio duct diameter/weight > 0.95. A mild residual shunt was observed at the end of the procedure in 22.85 % of the patients. The risk of residual shunt was significantly increased when the age < 2 years, the large PDA, the presence of pulmonary hypertension and the tubular C PDA.
conclusionThe choice of the device depends essentially on age, the weight and the duct anatomy.
