Acute thrombosis of an atrial flow regulator in a failing Fontan circulation: recanalization and management.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We report the case of an 11-year-old boy with situs inversus, interrupted inferior vena cava with azygos continuation, persistent left superior vena cava with absent bridging vein, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, pulmonary atresia, and ventricular septal defect. He underwent a Kawashima shunt at age 1 and fenestrated extracardiac conduit Fontan completion at age 9, delayed due to loss to follow-up while living abroad. Fifteen months post-op, the patient was diagnosed with plastic bronchitis. Cardiac catheterization revealed elevated Fontan pressures and proximal left pulmonary artery stenosis, which was stented (AndraTec 38 mm Optimus-XL). Although fenestration creation was considered, the procedure was initially delayed allowing for a trial of medical management. Four months later, a 6 mm Occlutech atrial flow regulator (AFR) was placed transjugularly, but thrombosis occurred 48 h later. Transjugular catheter-based clot aspiration (Penumbra Lightning
