1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewData on transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) have been widely reported in pediatric but not adult patients. This paper serves as an overview of the currently available evidence and supplements it with additional data from our multi-centre registry. RECENT

findingsTranscatheter closure of PDA is safe and effective in adults, with up to 90-100% success rate. Our multi-centre registry shows similar findings with low risk of complications. Yet there are special anatomical, imaging and technical considerations compared to the pediatric population, and the common presence of pulmonary arterial hypertension complicates clinical decision-making. Transcatheter closure is less commonly performed in the adult population and is not as straightforward as commonly perceived. Given the paucity of studies reported in the current literature, further large-scale trials are needed to determine the optimal approach and long-term outcomes.
