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: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional biventricular pacing (BIVP) for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). While previous data suggest LBBAP may provide superior outcomes, existing evidence needs more data. Methods: This retrospective study included all patients who underwent de-novo CRT at two centers in France (2022-2024). Procedural and clinical outcomes were compared between LBBAP and BIVP groups for de-novo CRT indications, using inverse probability weighting propensity score. Results: A total of 314 patients were included (75 LBBAP, 239 BIVP). Patients receiving LBBAP were older and more likely to have atrial fibrillation. Compared to BIVP, LBBAP was associated with shorter procedure time (96 vs. 128 min; Conclusion: LBBAP is associated with comparable resynchronization and clinical outcomes to BIVP, with fewer late complications.
