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

Background: Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) are at risk of developing conduction disease and complete atrio-ventricular block and this risk increases after corrective cardiac surgery. However, the optimum pacing modality remains controversial. Case summary: Twelve years after a double-switch surgery with ventricular septal defect correction, a 16-year-old ccTGA female was referred with an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy. In the absence of coronary sinus (CS) or direct access to the conduction system, several therapeutic options were considered. Finally, using a three-dimensional navigation system and customized sheaths, a left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) lead was successfully implanted. The implantation resulted in stable pacing parameters and positive haemodynamic changes. At 9-month follow-up, pacing parameters were stable and the patient reported a significant improvement in quality of life. Discussion: Cardiac resynchronization therapy in adults with repaired congenital heart disease remains challenging, especially in the absence of CS or direct access to the conduction system. In such a situation, LBBAP appears as an attractive alternative pacing modality. However, pre-operative management is critical to the success of the implantation.
