Apical post-infarction ventricular septal defect blockage using the direct externalization and enmeshment to the right ventricular moderator band concept: case series.
Article in European heart journal. Case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Transcatheter treatment in post-infarction ventricular septal defects can be unique and complex; hence, the development of a new technique is needed to improve outcomes. Summary: We describe two cases in which large and complex apical post-infarction ventricular septal defects were treated with a novel transcatheter approach as salvage and the other due to refusal for open surgical repair. By direct externalization and enmeshment of a device to the right ventricular moderator band, the defect was blocked and immediate improvement of haemodynamics was achieved. Conclusion: In large, complex, apical post-infarction ventricular septal defects with no apical rims, the DEXTER technique allows for exclusion of the defect and vestigialization of the right ventricular apex. An immediate and dramatic haemodynamic improvement can therefore be achieved.
