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

introductionLeft bundle branch (LBB) pacing (LBBP) demonstrates clinical potential but faces challenges in confirming selective capture via dynamic electrogram (EGM) criteria. CASE REPORT: A 69-year-old male with a complete atrioventricular block underwent LBBP implantation. Real-time EGM monitoring (high-pass/low-pass filters: 200/500 Hz) revealed an abrupt shortening of stimulus-to-V6 R-wave peak time (Sti-V6 RWPT) from 87 to 69 ms during lead deployment, indicating a transition from septal pacing to LBBP. Output reduction (1.6 V → 1.5 V/0.5 ms) eliminated myocardial excitation notches, yielding isoelectric EGMs confirming selective LBB capture. Further output reduction (1.4 V → 1.3 V/0.5 ms) prolonged Sti-V6 RWPT to 90 ms with an isoelectric interval, suggesting fascicular-level conduction delay.

conclusionThis case report illustrates the electrophysiological features of a diseased conduction system via dynamic EGM analysis, despite technical limitations such as signal artifacts. While EGM morphological patterns assist in differentiating pacing modalities, further validation of these electrophysiological observations is necessary.
