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

Background: The rate of permanent pacemaker implantation after tricuspid valve (TV) operation is thought to be high, with some studies quoting rates of 20% to 30%. We identified the rate of pacemaker implantation after TV operation at a high-volume regional reference center to better characterize the contemporary risk of pacemaker. Methods: All adult patients without preexisting pacemakers undergoing TV operation from 2011 to 2022 were included. Patients were categorized by type of tricuspid operation and concomitant procedures. Bivariable analysis and multivariable logistic and Cox regression were performed to compare outcomes and to identify covariates independently associated with pacemaker implantation and long-term mortality. Results: A total of 1346 patients with no history of pacemaker underwent TV operation. The overall rate of pacemaker was 11% (142/1346), with a 9.2% (113/1235) pacemaker rate with TV repair vs 26% (29/111) rate with TV replacement ( Conclusions: In this large data series, the rate of pacemaker with any TV operation was 11% and ranged from 0% to 33% according to concomitant procedures. Contemporary risk of pacemaker after TV operation at a high-volume center may be lower than previously thought.
