Reversible Biventricular Dysfunction Due to Right Ventricular Pacing in a Patient With Prior Cancer Treatment.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundWe report the case of a 54-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer treated with chemotherapy, surgery, and thoracic radiotherapy in 2007, who developed pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) after right ventricular pacing. CASE SUMMARY: The patient initially presented with symptomatic trifascicular block and underwent single-chamber pacemaker implantation due to bilateral subclavian vein stenosis, with atrial sensing (VDD mode). Eight months postimplantation, she presented with heart failure symptoms and new-onset biventricular systolic dysfunction. Ventricular pacing was 100% owing to complete atrioventricular block. Coronary angiography was unremarkable, and catheterization confirmed elevated filling pressures without pericardial constrictive physiology. DISCUSSION: Given the patient's lack of candidacy for cardiac resynchronization therapy, medical treatment was optimized, leading to significant functional improvement and recovery of biventricular function within 6 months. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case highlights the potential reversibility of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy with optimal medical therapy when cardiac resynchronization therapy is not feasible.
