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 woman in her 70 s presented with fatigue and dyspnoea during exertion. Six years ago, she had been implanted with a dual chamber pacemaker with the lead placement at the high septal site of the right ventricle. Echocardiography demonstrated the presence of the previously detected left ventricular septal bulge along with a newly observed systolic turbulent mosaic at left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and a systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve. Electrophysiological pacing study and simultaneously performed echocardiography demonstrated that the apical pacing decreases the pressure gradient at the left ventricular outflow tract LVOT. We changed the lead position of the pacemaker from the high septal to the apical site of the right ventricle. During the follow-up period, recurrence of the obstruction at the LVOT with SAM was not detected. In the case with septal bulge, it is necessary to choose the apical position as the pacemaker lead placement.
