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

backgroundRemote magnetic navigation systems are used for catheter navigation in cardiac electrophysiological ablation procedures. In this setting, ferromagnetic particles will be moved by changes in the magnetic field. It is unknown to what extent cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) are affected by the magnetic field when using magnetic navigation, and whether these forces may exceed the limit of 5 N that is set forth by German and European norms for implanted electrodes.

methodsA total of 121 rhythm devices were examined in a magnetic field of 0.1 T using the NIOBE II(®) Magnetic Navigation System (Stereotaxis, St. Louis, USA). Forces acting on the devices were measured with the force measurement tool Futek LRF 400 (Futek Advanced Sensor Technology Inc., Irvine, CA, USA). A standardized protocol of different movements of the magnetic field including all three dimensions was performed and maximal forces on the CIED were assessed.

resultsOut of 121 devices, 78 different pacemakers (54 different model families from 11 manufacturers) and 43 different cardioverter-defibrillators (26 different model families from 6) were examined. The mean force that could be observed was 0.33 ± 0.13 N for pacemakers (range 0.16-1.12 N) and 1.05 ± 0.11 N for cardioverter-defibrillators (range 0.86-1.38 N) when exposed to the magnetic field.

conclusionExposure of pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators to a magnetic field of 0.1 T does not result in a force exceeding the regulatory demanded 5 N that could damage the connected leads.
