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

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have become an established therapy for the prevention of sudden cardiac death due to life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in the last decades. In all those years, the use of transvenous leads has proven to be the most vulnerable part of the system. The development of the completely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator opened a new era of device therapy outside of the vascular system. The next step, enabling extravascular devices with the option of antitachycardia pacing, is just around the corner. This may become an important option for all patients without a bradycardia pacing indication that are in need for antitachycardia pacing because of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia.
