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

backgroundPercutaneous perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) closure traditionally uses femoral arterial access, which carries risks of vascular complications and prolonged bed rest.

objectiveWe aim to report the first case series of pmVSD closure using distal radial access (DRA) with a single arterial retrograde approach.

methodsEight consecutive adult patients underwent percutaneous pmVSD closure via DRA using the Amplatzer Ductal Occluder II between 2018 and 2024 across 2 centers. All procedures used a single arterial access with a retrograde approach.

resultsTechnical success was achieved in all patients (100%). The mean procedure time was 49.4 ± 7.3 minutes. Defect sizes ranged from 3 to 6 mm (right ventricle) and 5 to 6 mm (left ventricle). Complete closure occurred in all patients with no residual shunts at 1-year follow-up. No major complications occurred.

conclusionsDRA represents a safe, effective alternative for percutaneous pmVSD closure, offering reduced vascular complications, shorter hospital stays, and improved patient comfort compared with traditional femoral access.
