Interrupted Inferior Caval Vein in the Era of High Prenatal Detection Highlighting Postnatal Computed Tomographic Findings in Those Without Complex Cardiac Malformations.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2026. 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
We reviewed those diagnosed pre- and postnatally with interrupted inferior caval vein (IICV), emphasizing the computed tomographic (CT) findings in those without complex cardiac malformations. We identified cases of IIVC diagnosed between January 2013 and December 2024. We defined non-complex cardiac malformations as secundum atrial communications with or without catheter intervention or surgery, mild semilunar valve stenosis, or a patent ductus arteriosus with or without catheter intervention or surgery. We identified 51 cases of IIVC, of which 49 had prenatal care. Of the 49 with prenatal care, 46 (94%) were diagnosed prenatally. Of the 46 prenatally diagnosed, 5 underwent fetal demise, 1 elective termination, and 40 were live born. Of the 45 live born (5 non-prenatally and 40 prenatally diagnosed), 31 (69%) had no complex cardiac malformation. Of these 31, 10 (32%) underwent CT scanning. In our experience, we noted a high prenatal detection rate for IICV, with most having no complex cardiac malformations. Further, CT scanning in a subset of patients without complex cardiac malformations demonstrated elements of left-isomeric situs, including left-atrial appendage isomerism.
