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

A 50-year-old male had intermittent episodes of dyspnea for 7 days with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) for 2 years. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class is IV status. The echocardiographic evaluation (Philps EPIQ 7C, S5-1 probe, 1.0-5.0 MHz) was performed showing a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 48% (measured by the Simpson biplane method). His-Purkinje conduction system pacing (HPCSP) may enhance electrical resynchronization as well as the clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of patients with advanced heart failure (HF) who require resynchronization therapy (CRT). The use of left anterior fascicular areas pacing/left posterior fascicular areas pacing (LAFAP/LPFAP) may offer a significant advantage in patients for whom both biventricular pacing (BVP) and His bundle pacing (HBP) have not delivered substantial therapeutic benefits. In this study, we optimized electrical resynchronization by combining the concept of fused simultaneous pacing of LAFA/LPFA with an atrioventricular node ablation (AVNA) in a patient with HF and atrial fibrillation (AF). The maximal electrical resynchronization presented better hemodynamic and demonstrated comparable clinical and echocardiographic responses.
