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 adoption of leadless pacemakers (LPMs) is increasing, yet the impact of body mass index (BMI) on procedural outcomes remains underexplored. Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of BMI on in-hospital outcomes for patients receiving LPM implantation. Methods: Data from the National Inpatient Sample from 2018-2021 were analyzed for patients older than 18 years who underwent LPM implantation, with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria applied. Patients were identified using Results: The study included 3832 patients who underwent LPM implantation between 2018 and 2021, weighted to represent 19,610 patients, with 3540 having an appropriate BMI designation. Mortality was lower in the obese group (2.3%) compared to the nonobese group (2.7%) (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.462, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.259-0.623, Conclusion: These findings support the existence of the obesity paradox in patients with LPM implantation, where higher BMI categories are associated with improved mortality outcomes, meeting our prespecified primary endpoint. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanisms behind these observations.
