Surgical Findings of Iatrogenic Aortic Regurgitation After Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Device Retrieval.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDevice dislodgment during percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion is a rare but challenging complication. Although both catheter-based and surgical retrieval have been described, the optimal strategy remains unclear. CASE SUMMARY: A 57-year-old man developed severe aortic regurgitation after transcatheter retrieval of a left atrial appendage occlusion device that had embolized into the left ventricle. He subsequently underwent minimally invasive aortic valve replacement. DISCUSSION: Transcatheter retrieval of a dislodged device from the left ventricle poses significant risk. Manipulation across the aortic valve may cause valvular injury, as in this case. Early surgical consultation is essential, because surgical retrieval provides direct visualization and controlled management of cardiac structures, with the option for concomitant left atrial appendage occlusion. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: When device embolization into the left ventricle occurs, early surgical evaluation is advised to minimize valve injury and ensure safe management.
