Heterologous Atrial-Only Leadless Rescue of Pacemaker Syndrome With Preserved Atrioventricular Conduction.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundThe Medtronic Micra AV leadless pacemaker (LP) can preserve atrioventricular synchrony via accelerometer-based mechanical sensing; however, tracking limitations may result in pacemaker syndrome. CASE SUMMARY: A 61-year-old woman underwent Micra AV LP implantation for symptomatic postoperative junctional bradycardia after redo aortic root and bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement for prosthetic valve endocarditis, which was complicated by postoperative stroke and recurrent infections. She developed persistent exertional dyspnea despite recovery of left ventricular function and normal prosthetic valve function. Interrogation showed 100% ventricular pacing; electrocardiography showed retrograde P waves; and exercise testing identified preserved antegrade conduction. An Abbott Aveir atrial LP was implanted to restore atrioventricular synchrony, whereas the prior Micra LP was retained as low-rate ventricular backup. DISCUSSION: Atrial-only leadless rescue reduced ventricular pacing to 0.1% and resolved symptoms without transvenous upgrade or prior device extraction. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Provocative testing can identify select patients in whom heterologous atrial-only leadless rescue may restore synchrony without extraction.
