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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
backgroundThe balance between thromboembolic complications and bleeding risk in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation remains challenging, with left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) representing a potential alternative. Our prospective multicenter study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, technical, and procedural outcomes of the contemporary practice of stand-alone LAAO.
methodsThe SALAMANDER (Stand-Alone Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion for Thromboembolism Prevention in Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Disease) registry is a real-world, multicenter, observational cohort study conducted at 16 cardiac centers in Europe between 2010 and 2024, evaluating the safety and efficacy of LAAO using contemporary devices.
resultsA total of 1660 patients were enrolled, with a median age of 76 (interquartile range, 70-81) years and 38% being women. The median CHA
conclusionsIn this large prospective cohort, technical and procedural success rates were similar across all LAAO devices, suggesting comparable safety and efficacy. Postprocedural therapy typically involves dual antiplatelet therapy, with all patients requiring some pharmacological treatment.
