How we do it: Cardiac implantable devices are not a contraindication to MRI: time for a paradigm shift.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now an indispensable diagnostic tool in medicine due to its outstanding contrast resolution and absence of radiation exposure, enabling detailed tissue characterization and three-dimensional anatomical representation. This is especially important when evaluating individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD) who frequently require cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIEDs). While MRI safety issues have previously limited its use in patients with CIEDs, new advances have called these limitations into question. However, difficulties persist in the pediatric population due to the continued lack of specific safety data both related to imaging young children and the specific CIED devices they often require. This paper discusses MRI safety considerations related to imaging patients with CIEDs, investigates pediatric-specific problems, and describes thorough methods for safe MRI access, highlighting the significance of specialized institutional guidelines.
