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

Lyme carditis (LC) is a potentially reversible cause of complete atrioventricular (AV) dissociation that rarely requires a permanent pacemaker. The time to resolution is variable, sometimes requiring weeks, making a temporary permanent pacemaker (TPPM) a suitable bridge to recovery. We report on a 31-year-old man with serology-confirmed Lyme disease with complete heart block during the peak of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. A TPPM was implanted and the patient was discharged the following day with regular follow-up in the ambulatory setting. Once 1:1 AV conduction was reestablished, the TPPM was removed. Our case demonstrates that the use of a TPPM for AV-dissociation secondary to LC is a safe and feasible strategy in select individuals which can minimize patient morbidity as well as hospital length of stay and overall health care costs.
