A Case of Sinus Venosus Atrial Septal Defect: Physical Examination as a Diagnostic Clue.

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
An atrial septal defect (ASD) may be detected later in life due to its asymptomatic status. We report a case of superior sinus venosus ASD, a rare type of ASD, in which bedside physical examination was useful for the diagnosis. A 72-year-old male was referred to cardiology during the treatment of a cerebral infarction. On examination, a right ventricular heave, a split-second heart sound with an increased pulmonary component, and a systolic ejection murmur in the pulmonary region were noted. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a systolic pulmonary artery pressure of 50 mmHg with right heart enlargement, but there was no shunt flow. Because an agitated saline contrast study was positive, transesophageal echocardiography was performed and demonstrated direct flow between the left atrium and superior vena cava. Our report highlights the importance of considering ASD, such as sinus venosus type, even in the absence of transthoracic echocardiographic findings suggestive of this condition, when patients present with a bedside physical examination consistent with ASD.
