Left Superior Vena Cava Draining to Left Atrium: A Case Report, Review of the Literature, and Classification.
Review in Pediatric cardiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) draining to the left atrium (LA) is a rare congenital abnormality that is often asymptomatic and found incidentally on imaging. PLSVC is usually described alongside other congenital defects, such as septal defects, tetralogy of fallot, and aortic coarctation. PLSVC to LA with an atrial septal defect is known as Raghib syndrome, but to our knowledge PLSVC to LA without an atrial septal defect or right superior vena cava has not been described in the literature. Here, we report the presentation of a patient with PLSVC-LA without ASD and propose a classification system for this subset of congenital heart defects to help guide clinical and surgical management of these patients.
