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

Background: There are currently different approaches to conduction system pacing in unrepaired congenitally corrected transposition of the graet arteries (CCTGA) patients. However, these therapies are not feasible when patients have undergone anatomic repair. Case summary: We describe our approach and considerations for left bundle branch (LBB) area pacing in a 12-year-old patient with CCTGA after double switch operation using Rastelli repair. Three-dimensional reconstructions derived from cardiac CT were both printed as a dry model and uploaded in a virtual reality environment to enhance anatomical understanding and simulate the procedure. Across the Senning baffle, a SelectSecure 3830 lead was delivered through the Attain Select II 6248V-90P deflectable delivery sheath and positioned at the mid-inferior interventricular septum of the sub-pulmonary right ventricle. Non-selective LBB capture was suspected by a pacing stimulus to peak S wave of 83 ms, with final paced QRS duration from 219 to 138 ms. Despite early symptomatic improvement, systemic ventricular function did not recover sufficiently to obviate the need for heart transplantation, which was successfully performed two months post-procedure. Discussion: We demonstrate the feasibility of LBB area pacing in anatomically repaired CCTGA. Rigorous pre-procedural planning with 3D modelling was crucial to overcome the technical and diagnostic challenges in this complex congenital heart disease.
