Delayed Right Ventricular Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD) Lead Perforation Resulting in Cardiac Tamponade: A Case Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) lead perforation is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. AICD lead perforations are rare, occurring in approximately 0.1%-0.8% of patients, most commonly within 24 hours of the implantation. ICD lead perforations can be acute (within 24 hours of implantation), subacute (between day 1 and day 30), or delayed (>30 days postimplantation). Delayed lead perforations are rare compared to acute and subacute lead perforations and are not as well-studied because patients are often asymptomatic and are not diagnosed. Here, we report the case of a 44-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with pleuritic chest pain and dyspnea one-month status-post dual-chamber AICD. The patient demonstrated signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade, which was confirmed with a 2D echocardiogram and computed tomography (CT) scans. Emergency pericardiocentesis was performed under general anesthesia, which restored hemodynamic stability. The right ventricular lead was repositioned and a pericardial drain was placed. The patient remained in the intensive care unit (ICU) for three days and was discharged to home on postoperative day 8.
