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

The existence of a tetrafascicular intraventricular conduction system remains debatable. A consensus statement ended up with some discrepancies and, despite agreeing on the possible existence of an anatomical left septal fascicle, the electrocardiographic and vectorcardiographic characteristics of left septal fascicular block (LSFB) were not universally accepted. The most important criteria requested to confirm the existence of LSFB is its intermittent nature. So far, our group has published cases of transient ischemia-induced LSFB and phase 4 or bradycardia-dependent LSFB. Finally, anatomical, anatomopathological, histological, histopathological, electrocardiographic, vectorcardiographic, body surface potential mapping, and electrophysiology studies support the fact that the left bundle branch divides into three fascicles or a "fan-like interconnected network."
