Retrieval of a Free-Floating Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair Clip in a Giant Left Atrium.

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 embolization during transcatheter edge-to-edge repair is a rare and catastrophic complication. Retrieval can be particularly challenging in a giant left atrium (LA), where jet-driven device motion may render active "chasing" ineffective. CASE SUMMARY: A DragonFly clip completely detached in a 75-year-old man with a giant LA (anteroposterior diameter ∼10 cm). The device moved erratically, driven by eccentric regurgitant jets, making active pursuit unsuccessful. We switched to a fluoroscopy-guided passive capture strategy after identifying a consistent turning/impact zone on the lateral atrial wall. The snare was stationed at this specific site to await and intercept the recirculating clip, which allowed for subsequent orientation and atraumatic extraction. DISCUSSION: This case illustrates the use of a practical "floating clip" phenomenon in a giant LA. When fluoroscopy demonstrates a repeatable device trajectory, passive capture at a reproducible turning/impact zone may facilitate device retrieval and support continued percutaneous management in selected cases.
