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

Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common cardiac defect with significant implications if left untreated. Although open heart surgery is the traditional approach, transcatheter closure devices, such as the Amplatzer™ Septal Occluder Device, have gained prominence due to advantages like shorter hospital stays and reduced costs. Among potential complications, device migration is a rare complication, with an incidence of 0.5 to 1.1%. We report a rare case of migration of an Amplatzer™ device in an asymptomatic patient, diagnosed 6 months after its implantation. After detecting the issue, the medical team opted for percutaneous device removal followed by open surgery to correct the ASD. In conclusion, managing Amplatzer™ device embolization requires careful consideration of the patient's circumstances and device anatomy. This case highlights the importance of correlating clinical and imaging findings when selecting the management approach and assessing the feasibility of a less invasive approach in cases of late migration.
