In one paragraph

Review in JACC. Advances, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06620757 (Safety and Effectiveness of Short-Term Single AntiPlatelet Therapy After Left Atrial Appendage Closure With the LAmbre Device in Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation), which is not on this map. Cited by 42 papers.

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.

Abstract

The field of left atrial appendage occlusion is rapidly evolving. However, several issues remain including the limited randomized efficacy data, peri-device leak, device-related thrombus, and the ongoing refinement of procedural techniques. In this article, we provide a contemporary overview of left atrial appendage occlusion focusing on 4 key remaining challenges: efficacy data, peri-device leak, device-related thrombus, and procedural optimization.
