1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Scimitar syndrome is a rare anomaly where there is an occurrence of partial or complete abnormality of venous drainage of the right pulmonary vein into the inferior vena cava. Here we present a 34-year-old female patient complaining of dyspnea on exertion and dry cough, after undergoing extensive imaging and hemodynamic testing, was found to have a syndrome identified with lung hypoplasia with moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This case emphasizes how crucial it is to rule out Scimitar syndrome in adults as one of the causes of PAH from imaging and sonography. The initial presentation will be breathlessness where every physician keeps an insight of performing cardiac evaluation that may finally end up with these rare diagnosis.
