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 use of transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) for the prevention of sudden cardiac death has been proven in numerous randomized trials. By using a totally subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) system, it is expected to ensure appropriate protection while avoiding long-term complications associated with transvenous leads, such as systemic infection and electrode dysfunction. Meanwhile, the safety and effectiveness of the S‑ICD has been substantiated by results of large registry studies. Based on the missing option for ventricular stimulation, corresponding recommendations have been integrated into current guidelines for certain patient populations. In the future, the issue of inadequate shocks caused by oversensing may be solved using advanced screening tools and new detection algorithms. Furthermore, a combination of subcutaneous ICD and LCP (leadless cardiac pacer) seems realistic to enable antibradycardia and antitachycardia ventricular pacing.
