Lutembacher syndrome presenting as heart failure in a young Nigerian at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC), Ile-Ife: a case report.

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
Lutembacher syndrome (LS) is a rare syndrome comprising a combination of atrial septal defect (ASD) and mitral stenosis. We present the case of a 28-year-old man, who presented with progressively worsening dyspnea of 2 months associated with orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, bilateral leg swelling and productive cough. Chest X-ray revealed plethoric lung fields with prominent pulmonary conus and cardiomegaly. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large ostium secundum ASD with left to right shunt, mild mitral stenosis, severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitations and pulmonary hypertension. A diagnosis of Lutembacher syndrome in heart failure with pulmonary hypertension was made. The patient was managed conservatively, but declined surgery primarily because of financial reasons. This rare case of LS presenting with heart failure and complicated by pulmonary hypertension is the first reported case in our centre and our region. The patient's inability to afford the cost of definitive care posed a significant problem in his management.
