Noblestitch® system for PFO closure: A novel but judicious alternative to traditional devices-A case report.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. 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: Percutaneous suture-mediated patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure has recently been used with the aim of avoiding double-disc nitinol device implantation. This novel technique has been carried out successfully in several centers offering PFO closure with an effective closure rate comparable to conventional double-disc devices. Case summary: A 50-year-old man, a pentathlon athlete, suffering from a previous left-sided ischemic stroke, underwent percutaneous closure of a permanent right-to-left shunt Discussion: Closing a PFO with a suture-base system, without leaving a device implant behind, may be a cutting-edge technology and potential alternative to traditional devices. Nevertheless, meticulous selection of the PFO anatomies by 2D TEE is key to a successful closure procedure in order to avoid complications that must be managed again with a second percutaneous procedure or by surgery.
