Pacemaker pocket histoplasmosis - A rarest of rare CIED infection.
Article in Indian pacing and electrophysiology journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device infections continue to pose a pivotal threat to the successful management of various cardiac electrical disturbances. We present a case of a 79-year-old male who had undergone a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation 10 years ago. Patient presented with a history of fluctuant swelling over the pacemaker pocket, which has been slowly increasing in size over the past 1 year. There were no other signs of infection. Patient was approaching the pacemaker generator replacement indication. The patient underwent complete enucleation of the pacemaker pocket and replacement of the pacemaker generator. On histopathological examination of the specimen, Histoplasma spores were seen within macrophages of the specimen, confirming the diagnosis of histoplasmosis. The patient was further treated with antifungal therapy.
