Patient Perceptions and Quality of Life in Pacemaker Recipients.
Article in The Journal of innovations in cardiac rhythm management, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Quality of life (QoL) reflects the multidimensional impact of a clinical condition and its treatment on patients' daily lives. Although permanent cardiac pacemakers (PPMs) have made a significant contribution to the improvement of patients' QoL, patients' perceptions remain crucial after implantation. Hence, the present study was carried out to explore the QoL and the associated perceptions of PPM patients. A total of 150 PPM patients were enrolled. Data were collected using the Short Form-36 (SF-36) health survey, which also included patients' characteristics. The statistical significance level was set at p < 0.05. The physical health score as measured by SF-36 was 42.9 ± 19.5 points, and the mental health score was 54.1 ± 26.6 points. Study participants had higher scores in emotional well-being (66.5 ± 18.8 points), and the lowest scores were in physical functioning (22.5 ± 10.7 points). The level of information about PPM was associated with physical role (p = 0.005), emotional role (p = 0.004), emotional well-being (p = 0.001), social functioning (p = 0.002), and general health (p = 0.001). Attendance at follow-up was associated with physical role (p = 0.015), emotional role (p = 0.014), social functioning (p = 0.003), and general health (p = 0.016). The belief that the device prevents disease deterioration was associated with physical role (p = 0.005), emotional role (p = 0.001), energy/fatigue (p = 0.010), emotional well-being (p = 0.004), social functioning (p = 0.001), pain (p = 0.005), and general health (p = 0.001). Dependency on the device was associated with energy/fatigue (p = 0.006), emotional well-being (p = 0.001), and social functioning (p = 0.002). Social difficulties due to the device were associated with emotional well-being (p = 0.001), social functioning (p = 0.001), pain (p = 0.001), and general health (p = 0.004). Family support was associated with emotional role (p = 0.023) and general health (p = 0.036), while pain was associated with information about the family (p = 0.001). In conclusion, the present findings regarding factors associated with QoL provide key opportunities for interventions aimed at facilitating positive adjustments after PPM implantation.
