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

Atrial septal defects (ASDs) are among the most prevalent congenital cardiac malformations. Closure of the defect and repair of associated cardiac malformations are typically indicated if an ASD is hemodynamically significant or symptomatic. This narrative review aims to summarize key aspects of surgical ASD closures. A non-systematic literature review was conducted to cover surgically relevant aspects of (developmental) anatomy, morphology, and treatment. ASDs result from diverse developmental alterations, leading to subtype-specific associated cardiac malformations, meaning surgical therapy varies accordingly. Presently, surgical repair yields excellent outcomes for all ASD subtypes, with minimally invasive approaches, especially in adults, increasingly employed for ASD closure. Surgical ASD repair is safe with excellent results. However, familiarity with ASD subtypes and typically associated lesions is crucial for optimal patient management.
