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

Permanent pacemaker implantation is a low-risk procedure. However, complications may occur at a rate of around 4-8%. We present a case where initial implantation resulted in complications that could have been avoided by meticulous assessment of lead position in different projections and early post-procedure X-ray that would have delineated other serious complications. We present a case where the right ventricular lead was placed in the coronary sinus, which resulted in the loss of pacing capture with further syncope after the pacemaker implant. This was apparent in the post-procedure electrocardiogram (ECG) with right bundle branch pacing and the lead was repositioned in the right ventricular apex the following day. Furthermore, the patient was discharged home without a chest X-ray (CXR), and she represented a week later with a haemo-pneumothorax and pericardial effusion. A chest drain was placed and was discharged after a slow recovery following several complications that could have been avoidable.
