Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava: Unanticipated Stumbling Block in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 relatively rare anatomical anomaly, with a higher prevalence in those with congenital heart defects. While typically asymptomatic, its presence can complicate certain medical procedures, particularly cardiac interventions, such as the implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, due to acute angulation. In this report, we discuss the challenges posed by the unanticipated presence of PLSVC during CRT device implantation and describe the technique used for lead placement using Judkins Right catheter for support, placing coronary wire, and later placing the left ventricle (LV) lead with the help of buddy wire technique, resulting in successful insertion of all three CRT leads despite the anatomical challenges.
