Posttraumatic stress and quality of life with the totally subcutaneous compared to conventional cardioverter-defibrillator systems.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundFor prevention of sudden cardiac death, the transvenously implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy (tv-ICD) is well accepted. The subcutaneous system (S-ICD
objectiveThis study aimed at comparing QoL and posttraumatic stress with both systems.
methods60 S-ICD
resultsn = 42 (70%) pairs were analyzed (n = 30 male, mean age 44.6 ± 12.2 years). Prior appropriate (p = 0.06) or inappropriate episodes (p = 0.24), ejection fraction (p = 0.28), or underlying cardiac disease did not differ significantly between groups. PDS revealed a PTSD in n = 6 tv-ICD and n = 6 S-ICD
conclusionsOur case-control study revealed equal or even better physical well-being of patients with the S-ICD
