A Rare Case of Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava Coexisting With Valvulopathies and Complete Heart Block.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that is often detected incidentally during cardiovascular imaging or interventions. Coexisting PLSVC with mitral regurgitation (MR), aortic stenosis (AS), aortic regurgitation (AR), and complete heart block (CHB) are exceptionally rare and have not been reported in the literature to our knowledge. We present the case of a 50-year-old male with PLSVC coexisting with severe MR, mild AS/AR, and CHB who successfully underwent permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation and mitral valve replacement. Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and tailored management strategies are crucial for achieving significant improvement in the patient's symptoms. The presence of PLSVC adds complexity to diagnosis and management, necessitating multidisciplinary collaboration for optimal patient care.
