A Case of Successfully Implanted Dual Chamber Pacemaker in a Young Patient with Dextrocardia and Sick Sinus Syndrome.

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
Dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly, whereas its association with sick sinus syndrome in young adults without accompanying heart abnormalities is exceptional. We report a case of a 38 year old female patient who was admitted to our hospital due to syncope as a consequence of sinus pauses up to 4.9 seconds. She was also diagnosed with situs inversus totalis, with mirror image dextrocardia. Pacemaker implantation was indicated. Under local anesthesia, from the left subclavian vein, the guide wire was passed through superior vena cava to the right atrium and ventricle without any obstacles. In conclusion, situs inversus totalis with mirror image dextrocardia may present in combination with sick sinus syndrome as early as the fourth decade of life. Implantation of pacemaker leads from the left subclavian vein appears accessible and safe in patients with dextrocardia with situs inversus (mirror image).
