Minimally Invasive Implantation of an Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Device in a 2 Year Old.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Automated implantable cardioverter defibrillator device implantation in young children is a rare procedure that typically necessitates intrapericardial lead placement. The extravascular implantable cardioverter defibrillator device can be implanted with the patient in a substernal position and with a straightforward and minimally invasive technique. The largest incision is made to accommodate the generator device. The alignment of the coils and device provides a good vector for defibrillation while permitting somatic growth. Here we describe implantation of an extravascular implantable cardioverter defibrillator in a 2-year-old child, among the youngest patients to receive this device to date.
