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

In 2020, clinical experts from leading Asian-Pacific cardiology and neurology centers published an expert opinion and consensus statement on transcatheter patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure for patients in the Asian-Pacific region. Given recent evidence and new insights, an update of this expert opinion is necessary on certain topics. This focused update reviews evidence on PFO closure in elderly and migraine patients, along with the use of contrast transcranial Doppler ultrasound as a screening tool. This update reflects the consensus reached by Asian-Pacific clinical experts during the Asia-Pacific Heart-Brain Summit (October 3, 2024, Bangkok, Thailand).
