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
backgroundAtrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart defects and leads to chronic right ventricular (RV) volume loading, which may progress to heart failure if untreated. Surgical or transcatheter closure unloads the RV and improves hemodynamics, but the impact on intraventricular hemodynamic forces (HDF) remains unclear. Here, we evaluated the effects of ASD closure on biventricular HDF.
methodsCardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed at 1.5T on 21 patients and 11 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. Whole-heart 4D flow and cine images in standard views were acquired and used to compute HDF using custom software (Segment). Paired analysis was used to compare HDF pre-/post ASD closure.
resultsAt baseline, patients showed aberrant RV HDF in both longitudinal and transverse directions (p<0.05 vs controls), largely explained by volume loading (R = 0.83-0.92 for volume parameters, p<0.0001). At 8-month follow-up (n = 16), LV HDF increased in the apical-basal and septal-lateral directions (p<0.05), while RV HDF decreased in all directions (p<0.05), effectively normalizing HDF to control levels (p>0.05). Changes in HDF were associated with remodeling of ventricular volumes and with shunt reduction.
conclusionChildren and adolescents with ASD exhibit a wide range of alterations to ventricular HDF partially reflective of altered loading conditions. Successful ASD closure normalizes HDF in many but not all cases, highlighting the potential of force analysis to improve our understanding of ventricular remodeling processes in congenital heart disease.
