Surgical explantation of the WATCHMAN device and right atrial thrombus: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 74-year-old male with a history of cardioembolic stroke, chronic atrial fibrillation, and cerebral hemorrhage, who had undergone left atrial appendage closure using the WATCHMAN device 1 year prior, was diagnosed with a 25-mm intra-cardiac mass in the right atrium. The patient underwent the surgical removal of the right atrial mass and the explantation of the WATCHMAN device. The WATCHMAN device was explanted with an external incision at the base of the left atrial appendage, facilitating the removal of the device and the closure of the appendage through direct suturing. The pathological examination confirmed the right atrial mass to be a thrombus. The patient was discharged on postoperative Day 13. From the perspectives of simplicity and radicality, the external approach could be a good option.
