Microporous polysaccharide hemospheres for reducing pocket hematomas after cardiac device implantation in patients on antithrombotic therapy.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Various surgical procedures have employed microporous polysaccharide hemosphere (MPH) hemostatic agents. However, data regarding their effectiveness in preventing pocket hematomas (PHs) during the implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) among the Asian population are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential benefits of using MPH hemostatic agents during CIED implantations as a preventive measure against post-procedural PHs. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-center, observational study involving 255 consecutive Japanese patients who underwent CIED implantation between November 2017 and April 2021. We compared PH occurrences within 28 days after CIED implantation between patients who received MPH hemostatic agents ( Results: PH development was observed in nine (6.2%) patients who received MPH hemostatic agents and in 13 (11.8%) patients without MPH hemostatic ( Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that the incorporation of MPH hemostatic agents into standard practice may benefit to mitigate PH risk during CIED implantations in patients on antithrombotic therapy. This simple and practical measure may be valuable, especially in high-risk patients, such as those taking antithrombotic medications.
