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

Surveillance imaging at 45 to 90 days after transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion device implantation with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or cardiac computed tomography (CT) is recommended to assess device position and the presence of device-related complications such as device-related thrombus (DRT) or peridevice leak. Detection of DRT is associated with a significantly increased risk of a stroke or systemic embolization event within 6 months of detection. Nonetheless, there is significant variability in detection of DRT as a result of timing, frequency, and imaging modality used for surveillance. The process of DRT formation vs benign device endothelization is not known. Here we highlight the spectrum of imaging findings seen on TEE and CT and emphasize the need for unified definitions and standardized reporting of imaging findings.
