Evolution of Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) in Cardiology.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have revolutionized cardiology by providing life-saving interventions for patients with cardiac rhythm disturbances. Pacing the heart is an effective treatment for people suffering from bradycardia caused by sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular (AV) block, and electronic pacing has saved countless lives since its introduction into clinical practice. AV synchronization is the typical cycle of atrial depolarization and contraction followed by ventricular depolarization and contraction. The continuation of this cycle leads to appropriate ventricular filling and cardiac output. By contrast, the failure of the cycle results in AV asynchrony, which may result in heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization treatment (CRT) involves using customized pacemakers with or without implantable cardioverter defibrillators and tries to resynchronize the failing heart by enhancing myocardial contraction without increasing energy consumption. This review delves into the extensive journey of pacemakers and ICDs in the field of cardiology. It highlights the transformative impact of these devices on patient care and quality of life, emphasizing technological advancements, clinical applications, and prospects. This comprehensive review aims to provide insights into the dynamic landscape of cardiac rhythm management.
