Inadvertent Intraoperative Defibrillation Secondary to Electrocautery Grounding Pad Placement.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Intraoperative defibrillation secondary to the usage of electrocautery in a patient with a cardiovascular implantable electronic device is a rare occurrence, and below-the-umbilicus electrocautery use causing inadvertent defibrillation is a near-zero risk. Defibrillation secondary to electrodispersive pad (EDP) radiofrequency dispersion has only ever been theorized. In this report, we describe the case of a 67-year-old male with an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) undergoing a robotic-assisted left anterior total hip arthroplasty for left hip osteoarthritis who experienced inadvertent intraoperative defibrillation concurrent with electrocautery usage. The defibrillations ceased following contralateral EDP repositioning and application of a donut magnet overlying the patient's AICD.
