Pediatric endocardial temporary pacemaker implantation: Clinical characteristics and outcomes from a Chinese National Regional Health Center.
Article in Pediatric discovery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Endocardial temporary pacemakers (TP) are widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in adults, but their application and clinical experience in the treatment of pediatric cardiovascular cases are relatively limited. This study aims to share the experience of using endocardial TP at a pediatric medical center in China. The study included patients who received their first endocardial TP implantation in the Department of Cardiology at Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, China, from 2016 to 2022. A retrospective analysis of their clinical data was conducted. Our study involved 45 children who underwent endocardial TP implantation. Among these, 25 children (55.56%) converted to sinus rhythm after pacemaker parameter adjustment and the pacemaker was successfully removed; 13 children (28.89%) did not recover sinus rhythm and ultimately required a permanent pacemaker; in 4 cases, the family refused permanent pacemaker implantation; in 1 case, the treatment was abandoned by the family; and 2 children died during hospitalization. Notably, among the 20 children with fulminant myocarditis (FM), 16 children (80.00%) converted to sinus rhythm after pacemaker parameter adjustment and the pacemaker was successfully removed; 3 children (15.00%) ultimately received a permanent pacemaker; and 1 child died during hospitalization. Endocardial TP have shown remarkable efficacy in the treatment of critical heart disease, especially FM.
