Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on cardiac electronic device implantations in Northwestern Greece.
Article in American journal of cardiovascular disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic seems to have a significant impact on cardiovascular-related hospital visits and admissions. The effect of the ongoing pandemic on the cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures is less well studied. We recorded and compared the rates of de novo implantations and replacements of CIEDs performed by two experienced implanters in our referral center between years 2019 and 2020, as well as the periods of lockdowns in 2020 to the corresponding periods of the previous year. Our data indicate a significant decrease in CIEDs de novo implantations during the COVID-19 pandemic (year 2020) even though the replacements were increased. Both de novo implantations and replacements were markedly declined during the first lockdown period while no significant change was observed during the second lockdown period. However, urgent pacemaker implantations did not change significantly between 2020 and 2019 during these periods. Of note, in our study the total number of de novo pacemaker and CRT implantations did not change significantly between 2019 and 2020 while ICD and ILR procedures dropped significantly.
