Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block: A Narrative Review of Clinical Relevance, Diagnostic Pitfalls, and Prognostic Implications.
Review in Cardiology and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionIncomplete right bundle branch block (iRBBB) is a frequent electrocardiographic (ECG) finding, often considered benign. However, recent evidence suggests it may be associated with underlying structural or electrical abnormalities, particularly in selected populations.
methodsWe conducted a narrative review of population-based cohorts, mechanistic studies, and clinical trials focused on the prevalence, pathophysiological mechanisms, differential diagnosis, and prognostic implications of iRBBB.
resultsiRBBB is common in athletes and individuals with pulmonary or structural heart diseases. Although frequently asymptomatic, it may reflect right ventricular strain, pulmonary hypertension, or a predisposition to arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. Specific ECG features, comorbidities, and clinical context help to differentiate benign from pathologic iRBBB.
conclusionsiRBBB should not be routinely regarded as a harmless variant. In high-risk individuals, it may carry clinical and prognostic significance, warranting further evaluation. Standardized criteria and additional prospective studies are needed to better understand its implications. Infographic available for this article. INFOGRAPHIC.
