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

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most prevalent acyanotic congenital heart diseases. Percutaneous closure of PDA has been the preferred treatment recommended by the guidelines due to relatively low complications and rapid patient recovery. However, device emboli remain the most frequent and disastrous complication, necessitating percutaneous or surgical treatment. We present a case of a large PDA closure in pulmonary arterial hypertension paediatric patients complicated with device emboli that was successfully retrieved using the snaring technique. Transcatheter retrieval, although technically challenging, is a feasible treatment and offers the advantage of avoiding the need for surgical intervention.
