Transcatheter Management of Atypical Scimitar Syndromes With Dual Venous Drainage.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital condition including a partial anomalous pulmonary venous return from the right lung into the inferior vena cava (IVC) which leads to a left-to-right shunt. Atypical variants with a dual drainage to both the IVC and the left atrium may be amenable to transcatheter occlusion. We report 3 patients diagnosed with scimitar syndrome with this dual drainage. Explorations confirmed the connection of the scimitar vein (SV) into both the IVC and the left atrium, with a significant left-to-right shunt and a right ventricular dilation. Pulmonary pressures were normal or mildly elevated. A compliant balloon occlusion test was performed at the IVC connection of the SV. All the patients underwent successfully a transcatheter occlusion of SV at the IVC junction using occlusion devices allowing proximal re-rerouting to the left atrium through the fistula. Aberrant systemic artery arising from the abdominal aorta was embolized in 2 cases during the same intervention.
