Imaging assessment after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure: from immediate to long-term follow-up.
Review in European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Growing evidence has demonstrated the clinical benefit of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in patients with atrial fibrillation. Although procedural complication rates have declined with increasing experience, post-procedural device-related complications persist, impacting prognosis and reducing the long-term benefits of the procedure. Given the potential impact of these complications, surveillance imaging after LAAC is mandatory. Currently, different imaging modalities offer unique advantages to manage these complications which warrant a combined approach to optimize both short- and long-term follow-up. The aims of this review are to explore the distinct characteristics of each imaging modality, highlighting the primary findings to be assessed during follow-up imaging. Additionally, we propose an optimized clinical imaging surveillance roadmap from discharge to long-term follow-up.
