Jugular Vascular Closure and Scar Formation after Leadless Pacemaker Implantation.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Achieving hemostasis of large bore venous access sites can be challenging and time consuming. Closure devices have proven to be superior in achieving hemostasis, reducing time to ambulation and improving patient comfort, compared to manual hemostasis techniques after femoral venous and arterial access. The closure of the jugular vein following large bore access has not been investigated in previous studies. In addition, scar formation of the neck after large bore access of the jugular vein has not been investigated. In this study, the safety and feasibility of the double Perclose ProGlide (PP), for achieving hemostasis of the internal jugular vein (IJV) following large bore access with 27 French Micra Transcatheter Pacemaker System (TPS) was examined. Also, the scar formation in the neck after IJV closure was examined during follow-up. Methods: 136 consecutive patients from May 2018 until June 2024, in whom the IJV was closed with a double PP, following Micra TPS implantation were included. All patients were examined for hemostasis of the IJV and vascular complications, resulting in additional interventions. Time to ambulation, discharge and patient discomfort were also assessed. During follow-up the scar formation of the neck was examined. Results: In all patients, the double PP was successful in achieving acute hemostasis of the IJV after large bore access. In all patients, 2 PP were deployed without device failure. One patient required additional manual pressure due to a minor hematoma. Ultrasound guided examination did not reveal any vascular complications. All patients were ambulated immediately. During follow-up, the scar in the neck was hardly visible. Conclusions: Although the PP was designed as a closure device for femoral venous and arterial access, our data suggest that the PP can be used safely as a closure device for the IJV to achieve acute hemostasis, facilitate direct ambulation and improve patient comfort.
