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

objectiveTo compare the prevalence and progression of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after the implantation of right-ventricular pacing cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) versus biventricular pacing devices.

backgroundTR in patients with CIEDs is often linked to mechanical interference from leads, but studies show TR can also progress with leadless pacemakers, suggesting a direct effect of pacing.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 549 patients who received a pacemaker (PM), implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. Follow-ups were conducted after one year and at least three years with aggregate interrogation and transthoracic echocardiography performed. Patients were categorized into two groups: right-ventricular (RV

resultsMedian age was 68 [57-76] years, with 419 (76.3%) being male. Of these patients, 21.5% received an ICD, 30.4% a PM, and 48.1% a CRT device (RV

conclusionsRV pacing was associated with a higher prevalence and severity of TR after CIED implantation compared to BiV pacing, but this effect might also be explained by significant differences in the group's clinical characteristics.
