Concept of defibrillation vector in the management of high defibrillation threshold.
Article in World journal of cardiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
We present a case where defibrillation threshold was dangerously elevated to the point that the patient had no safety margin, and his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator generator was discovered to have migrated. Generator migration reduces the distance between the can and the coil, effectively creating a smaller bipolar current and sparing the left ventricle from the current needed for defibrillation. This case underscores the importance of securing the generator in place, as this patient would have been spared multiple shocks and an invasive medical procedure had his generator been better secured.
