Predictors of long-term survival prior to permanent pacemaker implantation in octogenarians or older.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThere is an increased need for permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation for older patients with multiple comorbidities. The current guidelines recommend that, before implanting PPM, clinicians should discuss life expectancy with patients and their families as part of the decision-making process. However, estimating individual life expectancy is always a challenge.
aimsWe investigated predictors of long-term survival prior to PPM implantation in patients aged 80 or older. METHODS AND
resultsFrom September 2004 to September 2015, 100 patients aged ≥ 80 years who received PPM implantation were included for retrospective survival analysis. The end point was all-cause mortality. Follow-up duration was 4.0 ± 2.7 years. By the end of the study, 54 patients (54%) had died. Of the 54 who died, 40 patients (74.1%) died of non-cardiac causes. Their survival rates at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 years were 90%, 76%, 54%, 32%, and 16%, respectively. Patients with a longer length of hospital stay before PPM implantation (LOS-B) [hazard ratio (HR) 1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.05, p < 0.001], estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionsLonger LOS-B, lower eGFR and BMI, and dyspnea as the major presenting symptom are pre-PPM implantation predictors of long-term survival in patients aged 80 or older.
