Long-Term Outcomes of Minimalist Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Guided Only by Periprocedural Imaging.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology, 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
backgroundPre- and post-procedural imaging in left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) adds to patient inconvenience and risks and may not materially influence outcomes. A more focused approach involving only peri-procedural imaging may suffice. METHODS AND
resultsData from patients who had LAAO at our centre between 2009 and 2024 were examined. Those with pre- and post-procedure imaging studies were excluded. Efficacy outcomes including procedural success and periprocedural complication were recorded. Long-term outcomes comprising cerebrovascular events, major bleeding, cardiovascular and all-cause death were retrieved through review of regional and national digital health records. 247 patients met the analysis criteria. The median CHA
conclusionA minimalistic approach in LAAO using only periprocedural imaging guidance is feasible and safe, with an excellent success rate and a resultant reduction in cerebrovascular events in long-term.
