Four-Dimensional Echocardiography Is an Accurate Tool for Coronary Sinus Evaluation in Patients with Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava Diagnosis.

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
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare vascular congenital anomaly yet the most common for the thoracic venous system. Usually asymptomatic, PLSVC is commonly diagnosed when echocardiography or other cardiovascular imaging is performed. Due to venous drainage abnormality, PLSVC is frequently associated with other anomalies of the intrinsic heart's conduction system, leading to tachy- or brady- arrhythmias. We present the case of a patient with 20 years history of supraventricular rhythm disorders diagnosed with isolated PLSVC. Furthermore, we discuss the diagnostic approach providing insights into four-dimensional echocardiography (4DE) evaluation for PLSVC diagnosis, assuming that there is a direct correlation between coronary sinus dilatation caused by abnormal venous return and supraventricular rhythm disorders. We highlight that correct understanding of the pathophysiology of PLSVC will lead to a reduction in unnecessary and potentially harmful testing, to a shorter diagnostic time and to a financial resource saving, as a whole.
