Left Atrium Compression by Iatrogenic Hematoma Due to Left Atrial Appendage Clipping in Open Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery.
Article in Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal, 2025. 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
Left atrial appendage (LAA) clipping during open cardiac surgery is widely used for stroke and embolization prevention in atrial fibrillation. Various devices are available for this purpose, including the AtriCure AtriClip and the recently introduced Medtronic Penditure clip. We present a case of a 59-year-old male with multiple comorbidities, including chronic kidney disease and coronary artery disease, who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with prophylactic LAA clipping using the Medtronic Penditure atrial clip. The procedure was complicated by an iatrogenic hematoma due to clip erosion into the atrioventricular groove, leading to left atrial tamponade and necessitating chest re-exploration. This case underscores the importance of understanding the structural interactions between different LAA occlusion devices and surrounding cardiac anatomy. Further evaluation is warranted to assess the safety profile of newer LAA occlusion devices and their impact on postoperative outcomes.
