Polysplenia syndrome: a review of the relationship with viscero-atrial situs and the spectrum of extra-cardiac anomalies.
Review in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Polysplenia syndrome is classified as one of the situs ambiguous or heterotaxy syndromes and is classically termed left isomerism or bilateral left-sidedness. However, polysplenia is a controversial and complex entity with no fixed pathognomonic features but rather a broad spectrum of abnormalities. In many published case series, polysplenia was neither associated with viscero-atrial heterotaxy nor with duplication of left-sided structures. The relationship between polysplenia and viscero-atrial situs is not clear. Several recent case reports describe the association of polysplenia with situs inversus totalis or with pancreatic; venous and other anomalies or with several types of malignancy. This article provides the reader with a review of the literature as well as our own experience aiming at better understanding of the polysplenia syndrome, its relationship with viscero-atrial situs and the spectrum of associated extra-cardiac anomalies.
