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

Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are essential tools in cardiology for tackling rhythm disturbances and have come a long way over the last decades. Technology is shifting toward leadless devices that spare the complications and limitations of traditional intravascular CIEDs. Herein, we report the simultaneous implantation of a leadless pacemaker (LP) and a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) in two patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, as well as their 2-year follow-up results, while explaining the preventive measures taken to steer around unwanted device interaction. Implantation of an S-ICD with an LP is reserved for unique cases but is a feasible approach when there is a contraindication for intravascular CIED implantation. Furthermore, this technique may be used in younger patients with cardiomyopathies in whom multiple generator replacements are expected, along with their known adverse effects.
