Pattern of Vascular Anomalies Associated With Sinus Venosus Atrial Septal Defect.

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
Objective To evaluate children with sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SV-ASD) for associated vascular anomalies. Methodology A total of 72 children with sinus venosus atrial septal defect with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return who presented to pediatric cardiology unit, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, from January 2019 till June 2021 were included in this cross-sectional study. Diagnosis of sinus venosus atrial septal defect was confirmed through two-dimensional (2D) and Doppler echocardiography performed by a pediatric cardiologist. Cardiac CT angiography was performed and assessed by a pediatric cardiac interventionist and radiologist. Patients were managed according to standard protocols and guidelines. The data were entered and analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Percentages were used to express frequencies. Results Mean age was 8.3 ± 2.7 years (interquartile range (IQR): two months to 18 years). There were 37 (51.4%) male and 35 (48.6%) female patients. Out of 72 patients, 64 (88.8%) patients had superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect, while inferior sinus venosus atrial septal defect was found in eight (11.1%) patients. In six (8.3%) patients, associated secundum atrial septal defect was identified. Bilateral superior vena cava was found in seven (9.7%) patients. Left aortic arch was seen in 70 (97.2%) patients, whereas two (2.7%) patients had right aortic arch. Conclusion Sinus venosus ASD is a rare type of atrial septal defect which is also associated with both pulmonary and systemic vascular anomalies. Diagnosing these vascular anomalies is of paramount importance before any corrective intervention can be done. Recognizing the pattern of these anomalies should be known to every interventional cardiologist, radiologist, and cardiac surgeon. Echocardiography alone is not a good tool to assess these extracardiac structures. Imaging modalities like CT angiography and MRI have refined our preoperative workup which is essential for the ultimate outcome of the corrective intervention.
