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

Several complications can arise during or shortly after the placement of a temporary transvenous pacemaker (TTP), some of which can be potentially devastating. A TTP was successfully placed under the guidance of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) and intracavitary electrocardiogram (ECG) in a middle-aged woman with symptomatic complete atrioventricular block. Three days post-insertion, pacemaker malfunction was observed along with the migration of the pacing lead to the left ventricular apex on cardiac POCUS. The lead was promptly repositioned, and no complications were noted on subsequent cardiac POCUS examinations. To prevent complications and aid early detection of complications associated with TTPs, cardiac POCUS should be strongly considered.
