Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure Using an Occluder Device: A Single Center Experience.
Article in Acta Cardiologica Sinica, 2022. 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
Background: Left atrial appendage (LAA) is the main source of thrombus formation, and occlusion of this structure decreases the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Objectives: We aimed to describe the feasibility, safety and outcomes of percutaneous LAA closure using an occluder device, and to evaluate residual LAA contrast leak detected on computed tomography (CT) imaging in patients who underwent implantation in our institution. Methods: Consecutive patients of Taipei Veterans General Hospital who underwent percutaneous implantation of an LAA occluder (LAAO) were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 23 patients were included with a median age of 67 years (42-87) and median CHA Conclusions: Percutaneous implantation of an LAAO appeared to be feasible with a low risk of major complications.
