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

Introduction: In patients with permanent pacemakers, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) traditionally requires resource-intensive manual device reprogramming before and after the scan putting demands on clinical resources. Methods: In this single-center case series, we report five MRI procedures in three patients with a pacemaker using an always-on MRI workflow facilitating feature (MRI Guard 24/7) that automatically detects MRI conditions and adjusts the pacing mode without the need for pre- or post-scan checks. Results: All scans were completed successfully, with automatic switching into MRI mode and reverting to the permanent setting. No device reconfigurations were required pre- or post-scan. Discussion: We discuss the potential of this feature to streamline MRI workflows, reduce staffing demands and improve access to timely imaging for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.
