Persistent left superior vena cava as a cause for an unsuccessful ICD implant.
Article in Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Transvenous ICD implantation has become a routine procedure at cardiologic centers. If such procedures fail because lead placement in the heart is impossible, anomalies of the venous vascular system should be considered. A persistent left-sided superior vena cava (LPSVC) with transition into the coronary sinus (CS) may be a cause of implantation difficulties. We describe the case of a 70-year-old patient, in whom non-invasive evidence of LPSVC was successfully gathered through contrast medium-supported transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). System implantation from the right side was performed thereafter without problems.
