Types of Complications and Associated Factors in Patients Undergoing Permanent Cardiac Pacemaker Implantation: A Systematic Review.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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: Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) implantation is essential in treating cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders, especially in patients with heart failure. Although PPM has been proven to improve quality of life and prolong life expectancy in patients with cardiac conduction disorders, post implantation complications still often occur. Purpose: This study aimed to identify types of complications and associated predictors in patients undergoing PPM implantation. Methods: This review used a systematic review design and follows the guidelines of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews and the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). The database used was PubMed, CINAHL: Medline Ultimate, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and search engines: Google Scholar. Articles with observational designs and RCTs in English were included without limitation of publication year. Results: This review analyzed 15 articles. The analysis showed that there are five categories of factors which influences the incidence of complications in patients after PPM implantation: demographic, pre-existing clinical, comorbid disease, procedural, operator experience, and activity factors. The complications that are most frequently reported are generator erosion, pacemaker infection, pneumothorax, atrial lead displacement, battery depletion, and even death after PPM implantation. Conclusion: There are many incidents of complications and factors that influence complications in patients after PPM placement. The reported complications underscore the importance of careful patient selection and procedure execution to minimize risks. Healthcare providers should emphasize patients with risk factors to provide targeted monitoring and management. Integrating a multidisciplinary approach involving cardiologists, nephrologists, surgeons, and the nursing team is essential to optimizing patient care and improving clinical outcomes.
