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

Changes in vascular endothelial function, blood coagulation and cardiac function indexes after the implantation of a permanent cardiac pacemaker in patients with bradycardia were investigated. A total of 53 healthy people and 117 patients with bradycardia in Jining First People's Hospital from January 2015 to August 2017 were selected. Factor VIII: coagulation (FVIII:C), von Willebr and factor (vWF), antithrombin activity (AT:A), D-dimmer (D-D), thrombomodulin (TM), tissue factor (TF), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) in the non-pacemaker group and the pacemaker group were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.05), in which FVIII:C, vWF, D-D, TM, TF and LVESV were significantly higher than those in the control group, while LVEFs were significantly lower than that in the control group. After the implantation of a pacemaker, the FVIII:C, vWF, fibrinogen (FIB), D-D, TF and LVESV in patients were significantly higher than those before implantation (P<0.05), while the LVEF was significantly lower than that before implantation (P<0.05). In addition, in different pacemaker groups, there were no significant differences in blood coagulation and vascular endothelial indexes, but differences in cardiac function levels were obvious, in which LVEF in dual-chamber (DDD) pacemaker group was significantly higher than that in ventricular inhibited (VVI) pacemaker group, and LVESV in the former was significantly lower than that in the latter (P<0.05). Finally, here was no significant difference in the quality of life of patients implanted with different pacemakers (P>0.05), but the quality of life of patients in the DDD pacemaker group was better than that of patients in the VVI group. Therefore, implanting pacemakers in patients with bradycardia affects vascular endothelial function, blood coagulation, and cardiac function indexes in patients, and complications become less after the implantation of DDD pacemakers.
