Long-term results of a cardiovascular implantable electronic device wrapped with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sheet.

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 use of an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) sheet wrapping device for patients with pacemaker contact dermatitis is still controversial. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the occurrence rate of allergies and other complications after implantation of a cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) wrapped with an ePTFE sheet. A total of 4,497 procedures of CIED implantation were performed at our institution between January 1993 and April 2010. Among 19 patients who underwent implantation of an electronic cardiac device wrapped with an ePTFE sheet, device implantation was performed in 11 patients for secondary prevention of device contact sensitivity, in 7 patients for primary prevention of device contact sensitivity, and in 1 patient for avoiding over-sensing of myopotentials. During follow-up periods (mean 46 ± 34 months), there were no allergic or inflammatory reactions to components of the device or ePTFE itself. Among 11 patients with a device wrapped with an ePTFE sheet for secondary prevention, 5 patients completed device replacement due to battery depletion and 3 patients had infections from the device. Wrapping implantable devices with an ePTFE sheet is an effective way of preventing device sensitivity in patients who require CIED therapy. However, the risk of infection from the device should be taken into consideration.
