Analysis of electrocardiographic intervals before and after transcatheter aortic valve implantation to predict the need for permanent pacing.

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
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is growing in utilization in the USA, and atrioventricular heart block is a common complication of the procedure. In patients with conduction system changes following TAVI, there are no clear guidelines for permanent pacing, leading to difficult clinical decisions on how long to leave temporary transvenous pacemakers in place. The aim of our study was to determine whether changes in electrocardiogram characteristics could predict the need for permanent pacing. A retrospective analysis was conducted of 209 consecutive TAVI patients seen from January 2012 to December 2015 at Baylor Heart and Vascular Hospital, Dallas. The baseline characteristics were similar between those who received a permanent pacemaker (PPM) within 7 days of the procedure (21.1%) and those who did not (78.9%); of those who did receive a PPM, 79.5% were implanted for complete heart block. The median (range) percentage change in the sum of QRS and PR was significantly higher in those who received a PPM (20.2%) than those who did not (7.1%) (
