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

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) utilization is increasing in pediatrics. These patients are often complex and may require treatment of AV block. Leadless pacing has been associated with a lower risk of device-related adverse events, but there are no reports of a leadless pacemaker implant in a pediatric patient with LVAD support. This report describes the use of a leadless pacemaker implantation in a 17-year-old patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and continuous flow LVAD support which facilitated transition to outpatient care.
