1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 (ASD) is a common congenital anomaly that increases the risk of heart failure as well as strokes which can lead to cognitive impairment. The risk of stroke is higher when pulmonary hypertension develops and there is reversal of shunt. Stroke in ASD may be due to paradoxical emboli from the right heart or a left ventricular thrombus which develops as a result of atrial fibrillation, a common arrhythmia in ASD. We present a case of a 32-year-old Ghanaian man with history of ASD who presented with progressive memory loss with magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain showing multiple infarcts, microvascular disease, and cerebral atrophy.
