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

Clinically significant bradycardia is an uncommon problem in children, but one that can cause significant morbidity and sometimes necessitates implantation of a pacemaker. The most common causes of bradycardia are complete heart block (CHB), which can be congenital or acquired, and sinus node dysfunction, which is rare in children with structurally normal hearts. Pacemaker is indicated as therapy for the majority of children with CHB, and while early mortality is lower in postnatally diagnosed CHB than in fetal CHB, it is still up to 16%. In young children, less invasive transvenous pacemaker systems can be technically challenging to place and carry a high risk of complications, often necessitating surgical epicardial pacemaker placement, which usually entails a median sternotomy. We report three cases of pediatric patients referred for pacemaker implantation for different types of bradycardia, treated at our institution with oral albuterol with therapeutic results that avoided the need for surgical pacemaker implantation at that time.
