Mortality in Patients With Right Bundle-Branch Block in the Absence of Cardiovascular Disease.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Background Right bundle-branch block (RBBB) occurs in 0.2% to 1.3% of people and is considered a benign finding. However, some studies have suggested increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We sought to evaluate risk attributable to incidental RBBB in patients without prior diagnosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods and Results We reviewed the Mayo Clinic Integrated Stress Center database for exercise stress tests performed from 1993 to 2010. Patients with no known CVD-defined as absence of coronary disease, structural heart disease, heart failure, or cerebrovascular disease-were selected. Only Minnesota residents were included, all of whom had full mortality and outcomes data. There were 22 806 patients without CVD identified; 220 of whom (0.96%) had RBBB, followed for 6 to 23 years (mean 12.4±5.1). There were 8256 women (36.2%), mean age was 52±11 years; and 1837 deaths (8.05%), including 645 cardiovascular-related deaths (2.83%), occurred over follow-up. RBBB was predictive of all-cause (hazard ratio [HR], 1.5; 95% CI, 1.1-2.0;
