Analysis of postoperative complications and risk factors in patients with permanent pacemaker implantation.

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
backgroundPermanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) is widely used for the treatment of chronic arrhythmia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence of postoperative complications and the risk factors in patients with PPI.
methodsThe clinical data of 124 patients who underwent PPI in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2018 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Data on sex, age, status of disease, and related complications of all patients were recorded, and differences were compared. The factors affecting postoperative complications in patients with PPI were analyzed.
resultsThe incidence of postoperative complications in 124 patients with PPI was 8.06% (10/124), including 4 cases with capsular hematoma (3.23%), 2 cases with capsular rupture (1.61%), 3 cases with capsular infection (2.42%) and 1 case with venous thrombosis (0.81%). Unconditional single-factor logistic regression model showed that the incidence of postoperative complications in patients with PPI was significantly greater with older age, high body mass index (BMI), smoking history, poor nutritional status, and decreased platelet counts (P<0.05). Results of the unconditional multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that older age, high BMI, smoking history, poor nutritional status, and decreased platelet counts were all independent risk factors of postoperative complications in patients with PPI (P<0.05).
conclusionsThe incidence of postoperative complications in patients with PPI was low, and the complications were mainly related to capsular bag. Factors, such as older age, high BMI, smoking history, poor nutritional status, and decreased platelet counts, were independent risk factors resulting in postoperative complications in patients with PPI.
