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.
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
objectiveCardiac implantable electronic devices are widely used today. Therefore, research is ongoing to provide better device implantation in technical terms. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between pre-procedural regional right ventricular strain and post-procedural endocardial R-wave amplitude in patients scheduled to receive an implantable cardiac defibrillator.
methodsA total of 112 patients who underwent single-chamber implantable cardiac defibrillator implantation were included in the study. Right ventricular strain analysis was performed before the procedure, and the following parameters were recorded: four-chamber strain, free wall strain, septal strain, and apical strain. The relationship between R-wave amplitude, calculated after lead implantation in the apical region, and strain parameters was statistically analyzed.
resultsAll strain parameters were statistically significantly better in the group with a high R-wave amplitude. Correlation analysis showed that a higher R-wave amplitude was associated with improved right ventricular four-chamber strain (p<0.001, correlation coefficient=0.436), right ventricular free wall strain (p<0.001, correlation coefficient=0.532), right ventricular septal strain (p<0.001, correlation coefficient=0.394), and right ventricular apical strain (p<0.001, correlation coefficient=0.814). In univariable regression analysis, all strain parameters were identified as dependent predictors; however, in multivariable regression analysis, only right ventricular apical strain (p<0.001) was found to be an independent predictor of high R-wave amplitude.
conclusionOur study revealed a relationship between the right ventricular apical endocardial R-wave amplitude and all right ventricular strain parameters, especially right ventricular apical strain. We recommend that clinicians perform regional right ventricular strain analysis before implantable cardiac defibrillator implantation in cases where lead positioning is uncertain.
