Horn-shaped” deformity of the Occlutech®-PDA device: case report
Article in Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas (Cordoba, Argentina), 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
Background: The phenomenon of deformation of devices for closure of intracardiac defects in catheterization has been reported, but not of devices for closure of patent ductus arteriosus. Objective: to report a case of deformation of a relatively new type of device for closure of patent ductus arteriosus. Methods: report an adult with hypertensive patent ductus arteriosus and a positive balloon occlusion test will be presented, in whom the occlusion was attempted with an Occlutech®-PDA device. Results: Upon delivery, the device took the shape of a “horn” instead of a “champagne cork” (usual appearance), so it was extracted prior to it is release and the procedure was carried out with another device. Conclusion: To our knowledge, no deformation during the delivery transcatheter of the Occlutech®-PDA device has been published. Adverse events related to new technologies, as in our case, should be reported as soon as possible, since it can help manufacturers to improve their quality and provide greater safety to patients.
