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

Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is increasingly used to provide nonpharmacologic stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation, particularly patients at high risk for complications of anticoagulation. Randomized controlled trials establishing LAAO safety and efficacy excluded solid organ transplantation recipients; thus, the role of LAAO in these patients is poorly understood. We present a series of patients with a history of solid organ transplantation who underwent LAAO and include patient-level data on indication, safety, and long-term outcomes. Our cohort demonstrated excellent efficacy and procedural safety with successful implantation in all cases, no major periprocedural complications, and successful discontinuation of systemic anticoagulation.
