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

A 72-year-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy was referred to undergo an implantation of a cardiac implantable electrical device (CIED). A pocket was created subcutaneously on the left anterior chest. After the operation, he complained of severe pain irradiating to his left posterior shoulder. The local anesthetic nerve block by a local infusion of mepivacaine revealed the pain was associated with the supraclavicular nerve. We re-created the pocket and shifted the generator toward the inner side, and the irradiating pain vanished. A local anesthetic supraclavicular nerve block is an important option for the diagnosis of pain after a CIED implantation.
