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

Anodal capture, characterized by a different QRS morphology compared to cathodal capture, is a well-known issue in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), a novel physiological pacing technique, is also used as a bailout strategy following failed conventional CRT implantation. In LBBAP, QRS transition, defined by a change in paced QRS morphology, serves as a key marker of successful lead placement. This case report is the first to document both high-output anodal capture and LBBAP-induced QRS transition in a single individual receiving LBBAP with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) as a bailout strategy for failed cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) implantation. Their coexistence underscores unique device optimization challenges in this emerging approach.
