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

Background: The transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) can be complicated by inferior-posterior rim deficiency. Percutaneous closure is possible but demands detailed pre-procedural imaging. Case summary: In this case, we present a successful percutaneous closure of two secundum ASDs complicated by the absence of the inferior-posterior rim. Pre-procedural simulations were conducted on a printed cardiac 3D model based on cardiac CT imaging. Discussion: Atrial septal defects with an inferior-posterior rim deficiency/absence are associated with an increased risk of device failure in percutaneous closure. Creating a 3D model offers improved understanding of the complex anatomy of the defects and allows pre-procedural simulation of the procedure, which may contribute to successful closure.
