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: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to benefit patients with heart failure and left bundle branch block (LBBB). However, CRT implantation is challenging when the superior venous access is not feasible. Case summary: A 50-year-old man with a history of dilated cardiomyopathy and complete LBBB was referred to our hospital for CRT management. Angiography showed that the left and right brachiocephalic veins were occluded. Cardiac resynchronization therapy was finally implanted via the iliac vein. Follow-up echocardiography showed improved cardiac function, and the pacing system was functioning properly. Discussion: The iliac vein access is feasible for CRT implantation with good stability, which can be a viable alternative to avoid unnecessary risk associated with thoracotomy and epicardial lead placement.
