Left Circumflex Fistula After Watchman Implantation: A Case Report of Left Atrial Appendage Closure Complication.
Article in Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Left atrial appendage closure devices reduce the risk of stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation while avoiding the risks associated with therapeutic anticoagulation. This significant value comes with additional unique risks associated with device implantation or surgical closure. We discuss an uncommon complication of Watchman device (Boston Scientific) implantation wherein an asymptomatic fistulous connection developed between the left atrial appendage and the left circumflex artery. Additionally, we review other documented cases of left atrial appendage fistulas and current management approaches for iatrogenic fistulous connections associated with procedural left atrial appendage closure.
