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

backgroundDetermining factors for sufficient QRS amplitude and discernible P-wave sensing in implantable loop recorder (ILR) are unknown. We aimed to investigate determining factors and ILR implantation angle that may improve QRS complex and P-wave sensing in ILR.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 220 patients who underwent ILR implantation or follow-up analysis. Patient demographic, clinical, echocardiography, electrocardiography, heart angle, and ILR angle data were collected as predictor variables. Associations between ILR QRS amplitude/P-wave detectability and each predictor variable were investigated.

resultsUnivariate linear regression showed that ILR QRS amplitude was significantly associated with age, height, ILR angle, and QRS amplitudes of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) (lead I, II, aVR [inverted aVR], aVF, V1-V6) and Holter ECG (lead V3, V5). Among discrete variables, only left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) affected ILR QRS amplitude (

conclusionILR insertion angle, lead aVR QRS amplitude, Holter lead V5 QRS amplitude, age, and LVH are determinants of ILR QRS amplitude. Heart angle and lead V1 P-wave amplitude of 12-lead ECG are determinants of ILR P-wave detectability.
