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

objectivesTwo patients were received ICDs (Biotronic Iforia7 VR-TDX). Holter analysis revealed pacing spikes, which occurred regularly at 100 ms intervals following QRS complexes, with consecutive 1024 test pulses at hourly intervals during a specific time, and the VP was 0%.

methodsBy analyzing the dynamic electrocardiogram and consulting relevant literature, it was found that this is a feature of the ICD that measures thoracic impedance.

resultsThis phenomenon is a special function for the purpose of transthoracic impedance measurement, which can monitor the heart failure.

conclusionsThis phenomenon should not be regarded as an interference signal or an abnormal sign of pacemaker malfunction.
