Effect of a pocket compression device on hematomas, skin reactions, and comfort in patients receiving a cardiovascular implantable electronic device: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04389398 (A Randomized, Controlled Study of Preventing Effects of Pocket Hematoma After Implantation Cardiovascular Implanted Electronic Devices With Pocket Compression Fixation Belt), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
AIM/
objectiveAim to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a pocket compression device in patients undergoing cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis randomized controlled trial included 54 patients in the control group (elastic adhesive tape) and 54 patients in the experimental group (pocket compression device). A sandbag was positioned over the pocket after CIED implantation, using elastic adhesive tape in the control group and a novel pocket compression device in the experimental group. The primary outcome was the incidence of pocket hematomas, and the secondary outcomes were adverse skin reactions, the need for sandbag positional adjustments, and patient comfort.
resultsThe distributions of age, sex, and clinical and procedure characteristics was not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). The occurrence of hematomas was lower when using the pocket compression device than in the control group (13.0% vs. 44.4%, P<0.001). The incidence rates of hematomas of grades 1 and the grade 2 hematomas were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (13.0% vs. 31.5%, 0% vs. 11.1% respectively, [all P<0.05]). The incidence rates of adverse skin reactions and sandbag positional adjustments were much lower and the patient comfort score was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (all P<0.001).
conclusionA pocket compression device can significantly decrease the incidence of pocket hematomas, adverse skin reactions, and positional adjustments when patients are undergoing CIED, which can improve patient comfort and decrease the nursing workload. CLINICALTRIALS: GOV : NCT04389398.
