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

We report three patients with an age above 90 years presented with symptomatic bradycardia and higher grade AV block in our clinic. The oldest patient was 100 years. All three patients could be supplied safely and without complications with a dual chamber pacemaker. Our case series shows that a dual chamber pacemaker implantation is safe and feasible in patients in very advanced age. A surgical management with local anesthetic (lidocaine), fentanyl and midazolam in individual cases is possible. This and a short hospital stay reduce the risk of delirium. It is a group of patients, which will increase in the future and requires more intensive care than the standard pacemaker patient.
