Surgical closure versus transcatheter closure for ventricular septal defect post-infarction: a meta-analysis.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2024. 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
Background: Surgical correction of post-infarct ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is associated with a significant incidence of morbidity and mortality. The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of surgical versus transcatheter approaches in the management of PIVSD. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of retrospective from five databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid, and Scopus) until 9 March 2024 was conducted. Risk ratio (RR) for dichotomous outcomes was used and data with a 95% CI are presented. Results: A total of 7 retrospective observational studies with 603 patients were included in the analysis. Surgical closure was associated with a significantly lower short-term mortality and lower number of residual shunt or re-intervention rate compared to percutaneous closure, with a relative risk (RR) of 1.21 (95% CI:1:00-1.46, Conclusion: Our meta-analysis shied the light on the significance of surgical closure in terms of short-term mortality and the need for re-intervention. However, no significant difference was observed in terms of long-term mortality and time to intervention.
