Ablating Left-sided Atrioventricular Accessory Pathways in Young Patients with Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava: Start in the Coronary Sinus.

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
While hemodynamically insignificant, a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) draining to the coronary sinus (CS) may have important implications during an electrophysiology study and catheter ablation. Specifically, ablation of left-sided accessory pathways (APs) poses a special challenge secondary to the potential distortion of the mitral valve annulus (MVA) and the possibility of the AP comprising a discrete epicardial trunk involving CS musculature. Ablation of such pathways is more likely accomplished from within the CS rather than on the MVA after a transseptal puncture. We describe two pediatric cases with a PLSVC draining to a dilated CS in whom successful ablation of left-sided APs was accomplished from within the CS after failed ablation attempts on the MVA. Initial mapping and ablation in the CS after a careful evaluation of the coronary artery proximity may obviate the need for a transseptal puncture with its potential challenges.
