Haemodynamic changes of interatrial shunting devices for heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in ESC heart failure, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
aimsTo assess the efficacy and safety, primarily in relation to the haemodynamic effects, of interatrial shunting devices (ISD) for the treatment of heart failure (HF), we conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis. METHODS AND
resultsWe used the MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed databases to identify clinical studies (published to 4 August 2021) that evaluated the effect of ISD on HF. The primary endpoint was defined as changes in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). Secondary endpoints included (i) other haemodynamic indexes, including cardiac output (CO), right atrial pressure (RAP), and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) by right heart catheterization, and (ii) change from baseline in 6 min walk distance (6MWD). After a literature search and detailed evaluation, six trials enrolling a total of 203 individuals were included in the quantitative analysis. Pooled analyses showed that after ISD implantation, PCWP decreased by a mean 3.10 mmHg [95% confidence interval (CI) -4.56 to -1.64; I
conclusionsInteratrial shunting device can effectively reduce PCWP, increase CO and 6MWD, and has no obvious adverse effects on the right heart and pulmonary pressure. Studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up time are needed for further verification.
