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

backgroundLight-chain cardiac amyloidosis (AL-CA) is a rare disease caused by amyloid fibril deposition in the myocardium. Evidence on Bachmann's bundle (BB) pacing in patients with AL-CA and sinus node dysfunction (SND) remains scarce. CASE SUMMARY: A 74-year-old woman with SND and worsening heart failure was admitted to our hospital. An endomyocardial biopsy during pacemaker implantation was helpful in the diagnosis of AL-CA. After the pacing study, it was found that high right atrial septal pacing near the BB region produced a higher P-wave amplitude and shorter duration than sinus rhythm and right atrial appendage pacing. The findings indicate that BB pacing not only preserves sinus rhythm, it also enhances overall cardiac efficiency. DISCUSSION: Few reports of BB pacing for SND exist in the literature. This case demonstrates a safe and effective method of improving heart failure outcomes. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: BB pacing may be a safe and effective treatment for patients with AL-CA and SND.
