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.
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
Bradyarrhythmias with syncope during pregnancy present a complex and multifaceted challenge for both patients and health care providers. When device implantation is indicated for bradyarrhythmia-associated syncope during pregnancy, the procedure should be performed with particular attention to minimizing fluoroscopy exposure to ensure maternal and fetal safety. A 29-year-old woman at 15 weeks of gestation with sinus pauses presented with recurrent syncopal episodes. The patient underwent Micra™ AV leadless pacemaker implantation (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) with a radiation exposure of 26.5 mGy and a total fluoroscopy time of 2 min, which is generally considered a negligible dose during pregnancy, based on the recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. In pregnant patients, a leadless pacemaker may offer a viable alternative to conventional pacing, primarily due to its reduced radiation exposure, shorter procedure time, minimally invasive approach, absence of transvenous leads, and lower risk of site infection.
