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

backgroundOver the past half-century, cardiac pacing technology has been reported. In this study, we designed, prepared, and tested the performance of a self-energized cardiac pacemaker driven by piezoelectric vibration energy collection technology, which converts the kinetic energy of the heart into electrical energy. A record

methodsFirst, the kinetic energy of the heart was collected by an implanted piezoelectric energy collector and supplied to the cardiac pacemaker. Then, the heart was pierced from the outside, and the cardiac tissue was stimulated by the pacing electrode, and self-powered pacing.

resultsThe average voltage and average current of the piezoelectric vibration energy harvester

conclusionsThese results evidence the feasibility of the in-situ epicardial pacing strategy. This research will promote the design and development of self-powered cardiac pacemakers.
