Endovascular retrieval of left atrial appendage closure device embolized to the aorta.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 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
Patients with atrial fibrillation with contraindications to anticoagulation can undergo left atrial appendage closure with a device. Hours after a 73-year-old man had undergone left atrial appendage closure, he lost perfusion to his lower extremities. Imaging studies showed that the device had migrated to the infrarenal aorta. After right common femoral artery cutdown and sheath placement, the device was retrieved with a balloon embolectomy catheter, and a balloon was simultaneously deployed in the proximal left common femoral artery to prevent device embolization. To the best of our knowledge, this report represents the first documented device retrieval from the aorta using balloon embolectomy and contralateral lower extremity embolic protection.
