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
Atrial septal defect is one of the most common congenital heart diseases in adults. The defect often leads to volume overload in the right heart coupled with the potential risk of right heart failure and pulmonary arterial hypertension. These conditions lead to worsening in quality of life, decrease in physical capacity, and even to fatal outcomes. The main strategy for treatment of atrial septal defect is a transcatheter or surgical closure of the defect, but in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension, it is recommended to manage pulmonary arterial hypertension and after that treat the defect invasively. This strategy is called "treat and repair" strategy. We present an illustrative case report of management and treatment of atrial septal defect, complicated with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. In this case, surgical closure of the defect was contraindicated because of the high pulmonary vascular resistance. Therefore, the "treat and repair" strategy was approached. After specific medical treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, surgical closure of the defect was chosen and proven successful.
