Management of device embolization following left atrial appendage closure: Two cases and a review of the literature.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objectives: Device embolization (DE) following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a severe but uncommon complication, and limited data address optimal management strategies for this condition. This review presents two cases of device embolization (DE) following LAAC and discusses risk factors, incidence, and management strategies through a literature-based approach. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, including studies focused on DE after LAAC, examining percutaneous and surgical retrieval techniques, procedural success, and patient outcomes. Results and Conclusion: DE incidence ranges from 0.6% to 1.5%, with improper device sizing and anatomical factors as primary risk factors. Percutaneous retrieval, through transseptal or transarterial approaches, demonstrates high procedural success rates, while surgical retrieval remains an option for complex cases. Our review suggests that with experienced operators, tailored percutaneous strategies effectively manage DE following LAAC.
