Successful Transcatheter Mitral Edge-to-Edge Repair in Patient With Situs Inversus Due to Kartagener Syndrome.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
objectiveWe describe a successful mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in a patient with primary ciliary dyskinesia and situs inversus (Kartagener syndrome). KEY STEPS: Preprocedural imaging was conducted to understand mirror-image anatomy. Transesophageal echocardiography angulation adjustment was needed for dextrocardia, and the MitraClip system was rotated by 180°for maneuverability. Sequential clip placement was performed with real-time three-dimensional guidance. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: Altered anatomy complicates standard echocardiographic views. MitraClip orientation and steerability challenges require device rotation. Transesophageal echocardiography visualization may be impaired by acoustic shadowing; preoperative imaging in supine position is recommended. Vascular anomalies associated with Kartagener syndrome may complicate venous access. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair is feasible in situs inversus with proper imaging and procedural adjustments. Operator-echocardiographer coordination is critical for procedural success.
