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

Pacemaker implantation in neonates can be challenging due to their small size. Even pulse generators adapted for pediatric patients, such as the Microny device (Abbott, Chicago, IL, USA), are proportionately large in comparison to the size of the smallest newborns. Due to anatomic considerations, such as small vascular and ventricular sizes, leadless pacemakers and transvenous implantation in the youngest neonatal population remain unsuitable. Even so, the desire for leadless devices has prompted the industry to create the smallest pacemakers available. Adapting the smaller Micra™ transcatheter leadless pacing system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for an epicardial pacing application may be advantageous to the smallest patients. This case illustrates the use of a Micra™ device modified with a header block to serve as the pulse generator in a ventricular epicardial pacing system for a 1-day-old, 2.68-kg patient with complete heart block.
