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

backgroundConduction abnormalities are common long-term sequelae after the Senning procedure for dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA), often requiring permanent pacing. Infection or lead malfunction may necessitate system extraction. Leadless pacemakers offer a promising alternative option. CASE SUMMARY: We present a 30-year-old man with d-TGA who previously underwent a Senning procedure. He had an infected pacemaker with lead extrusion. A combined procedure was performed, including complete system extraction and implantation of a leadless VDD pacemaker (Micra AV2). The procedure achieved atrioventricular (AV) synchrony and rapid recovery. DISCUSSION: This case highlights the viability of integrating leadless VDD pacemaker implantation with lead extraction in post-Senning d-TGA patients for efficient AV synchrony. It supports leadless pacing as practical solution for complex congenital cardiac anatomy. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Leadless pacemakers represent a promising alternative pacing strategy for patients with d-TGA post-Senning procedure. Micra VDD pacing with AV synchrony represents an innovative and effective approach in this setting.
