A Rare Case Study of Dextrocardia with Myocardial Infarction and Cerebrovascular accident in
Article in Journal of cardiovascular echography. 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
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital condition, characterized by complete mirror-image transposition of the thoracic and abdominal organs. Although individual reports of myocardial infarction (MI) or cerebrovascular accidents in patients with SIT exist, the simultaneous occurrence of both is extremely rare and poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 55-year-old female presenting with right-sided chest pain and later developing neurological deficits. Initial evaluation revealed dextrocardia and SIT on chest radiograph and abdominal ultrasound. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed ST-segment elevation in leads V1-V4, suggestive of anterior wall MI. The diagnosis was complicated due to reversed anatomical orientation. On day 3, the patient developed left-sided weakness and computed tomography of the brain confirmed an acute infarct in the right parietal lobe. Echocardiography revealed left ventricular apical clot with reduced ejection fraction. A coronary angiogram showed double-vessel disease involving the left anterior descending artery and ramus arteries and percutaneous coronary intervention was performed. This case highlights the clinical complexity and diagnostic uncertainty in managing cardiovascular and neurological events in patients with SIT. To our knowledge, this is one of the first reported cases of concomitant MI and stroke in a patient with SIT.
