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 insertable cardiac monitors (ICM) has been increasing because of their ability to provide long-term electrocardiographic monitoring and symptom correlation. Indications for implantation include evaluation of cryptogenic stroke, unexplained syncope, intermittent palpitations, and atrial fibrillation. When the ICM needs to be removed because of battery depletion and/or diagnostic revelation, its removal can be challenging because of its small size and the capsule that forms around the proximal end of the device. A simple technique is described that takes advantage of the ICM design to facilitate its successful extraction.
