Transcatheter Closure of Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defects Including Multifenestrated and Gerbode-Type Defects Using the Lifetech Konar Device.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
(1) Transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects (PmVSD) is becoming more attractive and effective with the development of new occluders. The aim of this study was to report a single-center experience in PmVSD closure using the Lifetech Konar-multifunctional occluder (MFO). (2) From March 2019 to October 2022, 43 consecutive patients were enrolled in the study. Among them, 13 had multifenestrated PmVSD including 5 Gerbode-type defects. (3) There were 23 males/20 females, and the median age was 17 years (range 2-68 years). Trivial aortic regurgitation was noticed in 19 patients. Implantation was successful in all patients under general anesthesia. A retrograde approach was used in 35 patients (81%). The retrograde approach was associated with a lower radiation dose (
