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

Inadvertent lead malposition (ILM) of a temporary pacing wire is a rare complication that can occur during pacemaker insertion. We report a case of a 40-year-old man who presented late following an inferior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Temporary cardiac pacing was performed for symptomatic complete heart block. A 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) on the following day showed a paced QRS complex with right bundle branch block pattern. Malposition of the pacing wire was suspected to be in the left ventricle and confirmed by chest X-rays and an echocardiogram. This article discusses the occurrence of inadvertent left ventricle pacing and its management. Early recognition with the help of echocardiogram and ECG will aid in reducing the incidence of such complications.
