Incidence of Permanent Pacemaker Implantation Following Tricuspid Valve Surgeries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTricuspid valve (TV) surgery is increasingly performed. Still, the risk of permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation following TV surgery is a serious concern. Therefore, the present systematic review and meta-analysis is aimed to determine the incidence of PPM implantation following TV surgeries in various surgical settings.
methodsThis study was preregistered in PROSPERO (CRD42024585421). A methodical search was performed across various international electronic databases. Random-effects models were used to illustrate the aggregated incidence of PPM implantation following different types of TV surgeries. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis were applied to evaluate the statistically significant effect of modifiers.
resultsTwelve studies were included; a total of 18,437 patients underwent TV surgery. The incidence of PPM implantation following overall TV surgery was 12.1% (
conclusionsPPM implantation is a common complication that can arise after TV surgery, especially when multiple valves are involved. Although substantial variability across studies makes it difficult to pinpoint exact risks, the overall message is clear: there is a need to focus on preoperative patient counseling and develop standardized research to improve our ability to predict and prevent these complications.
