What Happens If Hepatic Veins Drain to the Pulmonary Venous Atrium?: Depends on the Physiology!
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. 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
In rare instances in congenital cardiac surgery, ≥1 of the hepatic veins may end up incorporated either intentionally or inadvertently with the pulmonary venous atrium (oxygenated blood) while the remainder of the hepatic veins are left to drain normally with the systemic venous blood (less oxygenated blood). What happens when this is done? As it turns out, hepatic venous connections end up forming between the lobes of the liver, and a significant shunt results. The direction of shunting, however, depends on the physiology. We present 2 cases in which a single hepatic vein was left connected to the pulmonary venous atrium and produced very different hemodynamic consequences.
