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

Helix-fixed leadless pacemaker delivery can be challenging after tricuspid annuloplasty with a rigid ring. An 80-year-old woman with prior mitral valve repair, tricuspid annuloplasty (26-mm MC ring), and Maze III surgery presented with syncope due to atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response. Standard maneuvers failed to advance the Aveir VR delivery system across the repaired annulus, and simple distal snare traction crossed the ring but could not secure a stable septal trajectory. A three-step segmental snare traction technique enabled controlled annular crossing and inferior septal fixation with preserved tricuspid valve function at 1 year.
