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

backgroundA 69-year-old male underwent implantation of a leadless pacemaker after a failed attempt to upgrade his single lead ICD in the setting of SVC obstruction. CASE SUMMARY: A 69-year-old male with ischemic cardiomyopathy status post single chamber ICD presented with fatigue. Device interrogation revealed increased RV pacing. Device upgrade was attempted; however, he was found to have a SVC obstruction. A leadless pacemaker was subsequently placed in the right atrium via femoral approach. DISCUSSION: Permanent leadless pacemakers provide a safe, less invasive alternative for patients with conditions that would have previously required complex interventions. Our case demonstrates the use of a leadless pacemaker in a patient with SVC obstruction and ESRD, offering lower infection risk and benefit of retrievability.
