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: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is an important aspect of lead management. The impact of younger age on procedural complexity is not well characterized. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the procedural outcomes of TLE in young adults using the University of California San Diego Lead Extraction Registry. Methods: Patients who underwent TLE between January 2012 and December 2024 were included and stratified by age into 2 groups: ≤50 years (group 1) or >50 years (group 2). We compared procedural characteristics and outcomes between the 2 groups. Results: Of 1025 patients in this study, 173 patients (17%) were ≤50 years old (group 1) and 852 patients (83%) were >50 years old (group 2). Group 1 was younger at the time of initial device implantation (28.2 ± 11.0 vs 62.0 ± 11.2 years; Conclusion: TLE in young adults is associated with increased procedural complexity but without higher rates of complications. The findings highlight the importance of risk stratification and preprocedural planning.
