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

Background: Physiologic pacing is safe and feasible, but whether electrical synchrony persists at follow-up in patients undergoing left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is unknown. Objective: To determine performance of electrical synchrony in LBBAP patients at follow-up. Methods: Consecutive patients with successful LBBAP for bradycardia pacing indication and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction were selected. At follow-up, a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded along with echocardiography for myocardial work analysis. V6-R wave peak time (RWPT), V1-RWTP, and QRS duration were compared. Results: One hundred forty-nine patients were studied. After 18.2 ± 7.3 months, V6-RWTP decreased from 74.4 ± 8.9 milliseconds to 71.5 ± 10.6 milliseconds ( Conclusions: In patients undergoing LBBAP for bradycardia pacing, electrical synchrony remained stable over time, suggesting that LBBAP is a reliable and durable method for physiologic pacing.
