[Electrophysiologic procedure complications in the elderly].
Review in Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Published registries give limited information on age-dependent complication rates. There are several reasons for this, including limited numbers of patients in subgroups (e.g., contractility management), experience-dependent procedures (e.g., catheter ablation), or in changing indications (e.g., resynchronization). Finally, severely ill and very old patients with limited prognosis are often excluded from electrophysiologic procedures. Therefore, published data are difficult to interpret. Meta-analyses of randomized trials give more precise information on included patient cohorts, but do not necessarily reflect daily practice because elderly patients are often excluded from trials. Therefore, the individual risk of elderly patients has to be estimated on an individual case basis. In summary, the age of patients is not relevant regarding possible complications; thus, there is no age limit for electrophysiologic interventions. Therefore, there is no alternative to the individual estimation of procedural risks of interventions of an informed patient by an experienced cardiologist.
