State of the art: leadless ventricular pacing : A national expert consensus of the Austrian Society of Cardiology.
Review in Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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.

Abstract
backgroundCardiac pacing has been shown to improve quality of life and prognosis of patients with bradycardia for almost 60 years. The latest innovation in pacemaker therapy was miniaturization of generators to allow leadless pacing directly in the right ventricle. There is a long history and extensive experience of leadless ventricular pacing in Austria. However, no recommendations of national or international societies for indications and implantation of leadless opposed to transvenous pacing systems have been published so far.
resultsA national expert panel of skilled implanters gives an overview on the two utilized leadless cardiac pacing systems and highlights clinical advantages as well as current knowledge of performance and complication rates of leadless pacing. Furthermore, a national consensus for Austria is presented, based on recent studies and current know-how, specifically including indications for leadless pacing, management of infection, suggestions for qualification, and training of the operators and technical standards.
conclusionsLeadless pacing systems can be implanted successfully with a low complication rate, if suggestions for indications and technical requirements are followed. An overview of the two utilized leadless cardiac pacing systems is given, specifically highlighting clinical advantages as well as current knowledge of performance and complication rates. Furthermore, a national consensus for Austria is presented, specifically including indications for leadless pacing, management of infection, and suggestions for qualification and technical standards.
