Procedural outcome and safety of percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus occlusion in adults.
Article in Annals of pediatric cardiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Percutaneous device closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in infants and children is a frequently performed procedure. However, transcatheter closure is rare in adults, especially in developed countries, as most ducts are typically closed in childhood. PDA in adults poses unique challenges due to age-related comorbidities and some morphological changes in PDA that occur with advanced age. This study analyzes the safety and procedural success of adult PDA transcatheter closure. Materials and Methods: A retrospective single-center study analyzed 184 adult PDA device closures between July 2015 and July 2024. The study examined patient demographics, clinical aspects, procedural details, and immediate hospital outcomes. Outcome parameters focused on procedural success, complications, residual shunt, and improvement in symptoms. Results: Out of 184 patients, 183 adults with a mean age of 27 ± 13 years and a mean weight of 52 ± 16.5 kg underwent PDA device occlusion. Most patients were referred for evaluation of a murmur ( Conclusions: Percutaneous device closure is a safe and successful treatment option for PDA in adults.
