The Mechanism and Management of Pneumopericardium Caused by Right Ventricular Lead Perforation.
Article in Cardiology research, 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
An 83-year-old man underwent dual-chamber pacemaker placement for complete atrioventricular block at another hospital. The active-fixation ventricular lead was positioned on the free wall of the anterior right ventricle. Ventricular pacing failure occurred on the day after pacemaker implantation, and fluoroscopy revealed right ventricular (RV) lead perforation. The patient was transferred to our hospital, and chest computed tomography revealed a severe pneumothorax and moderate pneumopericardium. These symptoms were relieved after chest tube drainage, and the patient's hemodynamics stabilized. The RV lead was percutaneously removed using simple traction under fluoroscopic guidance with cardiac surgical backup and was uneventfully refixed to the RV septum. Although there have been several reports of pneumopericardium caused by atrial lead perforation, there are very few cases related to RV lead. Pneumopericardium complicated by pneumothorax due to RV lead perforation can be relieved using chest tube drainage without the need for pericardiocentesis.
