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

backgroundRaghib syndrome is a congenital anomaly that is caused by a persistent left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium, unroofed coronary sinus, and atrial septal defect. It can lead to cyanosis, cryptogenic strokes, pulmonary hypertension, and arrythmias. CASE SUMMARY: A 60-year-old woman presented with palpitations due to atrial flutter. Cardiac imaging, including computed tomography, transesophageal echocardiography, and magnetic resonance imaging, confirmed bilateral superior vena cavae, with the left superior vena cava draining into the left atrium and minimal right-to-left shunting (3%). She was managed with anticoagulation and underwent regular follow-up without complications. DISCUSSION: Diagnosis of Raghib syndrome relies on multimodality imaging. In cases with minimal symptoms and left-to-right shunting, conservative management with biannual follow-up may be sufficient. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Multimodality imaging is crucial in confirming anatomy and characterizing flow dynamics in cyanotic congenital heart disease. In patients with Raghib syndrome without cyanosis, conservative management with anticoagulation may be a safe alternative to surgical intervention.
