Concomitant Surgical Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: a Review.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2022. 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
purpose of reviewIn this review, we discuss some of the observational studies that examined the impact of left atrial appendage occlusion on stroke, the Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Study (LAAOS) III research program that provided definitive evidence for the benefit of surgical left atrial appendage occlusion on ischemic stroke, and high priority studies in the field that should be pursued by the surgical community. RECENT
findingsAtrial fibrillation is common in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Oral anticoagulants are effective at preventing strokes related to atrial fibrillation; they have been the standard of care for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation for decades. Most strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation originate from the left atrial appendage. LAAOS III, a large randomized controlled trial, has recently demonstrated that concomitant left atrial appendage occlusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery for another indication reduces the risk of stroke or systemic embolism on top of oral anticoagulation. Surgical left atrial appendage occlusion reduces the risk of ischemic stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation and a CHA
