Mitral valve repair in patients with mirror-image dextrocardia and situs inversus: two cases and a review of the literature.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Dextrocardia is a rare cardiac malposition that was first described in 1606. Mirror-image dextrocardia is characterized by a mirror-image change of the normal position of the heart. Most cases are accompanied by situs inversus viscerum, whereas only 3% to 10% of cases are associated with intracardiac anomalies. Valve surgery for acquired valvular lesions in patients with mirror-image dextrocardia with situs inversus is rare. Diagnosing situs anomalies in adults is important to prevent errors during surgical operations, emergency procedures, or interventional operations. In this report, we present two cases of mitral regurgitation in patients with mirror-image dextrocardia. One patient had mirror-image dextrocardia with subacute infective endocarditis and mitral regurgitation, and the other patient had mirror-image dextrocardia with mitral Carpentier type I regurgitation. In both patients, mitral valve repair was successfully performed using a transseptal approach.
