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

introductionRecent studies have shown that the His-Purkinje system pacing (HPSP) can achieve electrocardiomechanical synchronisation, and thus improve cardiac function. For patients with pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) who should be treated with pacemaker upgrade, the HPSP is a viable alternative to cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT). However, no randomised controlled trial has been performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HPSP in patients with PICM. The present study compared the efficacy and safety of HPSP with that of traditional CRT in the treatment of patients with PICM. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This study is a single-centre, randomised controlled non-inferiority trial. This trial was carried out at the cardiac centre of Beijing Anzhen Hospital. A total of 46 patients with PICM who needed pacemaker upgrade treatment between January 2022 and December 2023 will be enrolled in this study. Patients will be randomised into an investigational group (HPSP) and a control group (CRT) at a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome is the duration of QRS complex (QRS width), and the secondary outcomes are NT-proBNP (N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide), C reactive protein, the number of antibiotics used, left ventricular ejection fraction, end systolic volume, end diastolic volume, the hospitalisation duration, the incidence of postoperative infection, pacemaker parameters (threshold, sensing and impedance), the 6-minute walking test, and quality of life (36-Item Short Form Survey scale), all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, heart failure-related rehospitalisation rate, other rehospitalisation rates, major complication rates and procedure costs. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has been approved by the Beijing Anzhen Hospital Medical Ethics Committee (No. 2020043X). TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000034265).
