Localization of right ventricular non-apical lead position: comparison of three-dimensional echocardiography, computed tomography, and fluoroscopic imaging.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveRight ventricular (RV) septal pacing is considered a better pacing procedure compared with traditional apical pacing. This study aimed to investigate agreement among computed tomography (CT), three-dimensional echocardiography (3D-echo), and fluoroscopy for evaluating the tip of the RV pacing lead in the non-apical position in patients with permanent pacemaker implantation.
methodsFifty-four patients were prospectively enrolled. Data on patients' characteristics and imaging findings were analyzed. The agreement rate in distinguishing the RV septal lead position among the three imaging modalities was determined.
resultsThirty-three (61%) patients were men and the median age was 76 years. Overall, the agreement rate among the three imaging modalities was 87% (47/54; Kappa ratio: 0.734). The agreement of 3D-echo compared with thoracic CT (Kappa ratio: 0.893) was better than that for thoracic CT and fluoroscopy (Kappa ratio: 0.658). Agreement between fluoroscopy and 3D-echo was lowest (Kappa ratio: 0.632).
conclusionsAgreement in evaluating the position of the septal lead between thoracic CT and 3D-echo is better than that between other imaging modalities. Our findings indicate that 3D-echo imaging might be the best imaging tool for defining the tip of the RV non-apical lead position and be useful for guiding positioning of the RV lead.
