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

introductionLeft bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has rapidly become a preferred form of cardiac physiologic pacing; however, predictors of unsuccessful implantation remain unclear. METHODS AND

resultsBetween April 2020 and March 2024, LBBAP was attempted in 145 patients. Procedural success was defined by ≥ 1 of the following: output-dependent QRS morphology changes, V6 R-wave peak time (RWPT) < 75 ms, V6-V1 interpeak interval ≥ 44 ms, or concordance between intrinsic and paced V6 RWPT derived from left bundle potentials. Baseline clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic variables were compared between success (n = 126, 86.9%) and failure (n = 19, 13.1%) groups. Multivariable logistic regression using Firth's penalized likelihood identified nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (NIVCD) (odds ratio [OR] = 4.34; p = 0.02), interventricular septal thickness (IVSd) (OR = 1.39 per mm; p = 0.03), and right atrial area (RAA) (OR = 1.12 per cm

conclusionNIVCD, septal hypertrophy, and right atrial enlargement are independent predictors of LBBAP failure. The resulting validated prediction model and nomogram provide individualized pre-procedural risk estimation and may assist in optimizing patient selection and procedural strategy.
