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

Leadless pacemakers reduce complications compared to transvenous systems, but device dislodgement and embolization can occur. We report an 81-year-old man with atrial fibrillation and bradycardia who underwent Micra implantation. Because of inner shaft damage and insufficient tine fixation, the device embolized into the coronary sinus. It was successfully retrieved using a double-snare technique, and a new device was implanted. This case highlights the importance of meticulous deployment technique and thorough intraprocedural assessment of device attachment, as well as troubleshooting strategies for unexpected embolization.
