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

The increasing use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) in pediatric and adolescent populations has led to a growing need for transvenous lead extraction (TLE). However, data on long-term outcomes remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TLE using mechanical rotational dilator sheaths in a pediatric cohort. This retrospective single-center study included 35 patients who underwent TLE between 2007 and 2025. Outcomes were compared between Evolution
