Radiotherapy for patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices: an 11-year experience.
Article in Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 17 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
purposeAs cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are increasingly indicated in older patients, and the burden of cancer is rising with the aging population, the management of patients with CIEDs who require radiotherapy (RT) is a timely concern. The objective of the study was to evaluate the management of, and malfunctions in, patients with CIEDs undergoing RT.
methodsA retrospective study of patients with CIEDs receiving RT at Kingston Health Sciences Center from March 2007-April 2018 was conducted. Data on demographics, RT, devices, and management were compared for the primary outcome of device malfunction.
resultsOf the 189 patients with CIEDs receiving a total of 297 courses of RT, 4 patients (2.1%) experienced device malfunctions. Higher beam energy was associated with a malfunction (p < 0.05). Patients with malfunctions received a lower dose of radiation per fraction (267 ± 93 cGy vs. 477 ± 282 cGy; p < 0.05) and were significantly younger (71.4 ± 2.2 years vs. 77.8 ± 9.8 years; p < 0.01) compared to patients without malfunctions.
conclusionRT-induced device malfunctions are rare, but given the potential complications, a better understanding of the potential predictors of malfunction and the development of evidence-based guidelines will help optimize patient safety.
