Implantation of pacemaker for sick sinus syndrome in a patient with persistent left superior vena cava and absent right superior vena cava.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Absent right superior vena cava with persistent left superior vena cava in normal situs is an exceedingly rare congenital anomaly. In such cases, pacemaker implantation (PMI) is very difficult or even impossible. We report the case of a patient with sick sinus syndrome in whom PMI was easily performed via the left superior vena cava by using a steerable stylet.
