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

Electroanatomic mapping of the right atrial breakout site during retrograde Bachmann bundle pacing in 15 patients in sinus rhythm undergoing pulmonary vein isolation provided the anatomic localization of the putative lead insertion target for Bachmann bundle pacing. In all patients the target area could be mapped to the inferoseptal superior vena cava, with some variation in the earliest breakout site in the anteroposterior plane. Microstructural correlation reveals that the Bachmann bundle functions as an atrial conduction pathway supported by anatomic features to provide interatrial synchrony.
