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

case summaryA 57-year-old man with a history of congenital ventricular septal defect and bicuspid aortic valve with surgical repair of aortic coarctation presented with dyspnea and found to be in complete heart block with junctional escape rhythm necessitating pacemaker implantation. DISCUSSION: Pacemaker implantation in adult congenital heart disease and atrioventricular block requires preprocedural planning. Multimodality imaging is important in patients with complex septal anatomy, as it can reduce procedural difficulty and improve procedural safety by identifying optimal lead positioning strategies. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Multimodality imaging can facilitate safer and more precise pacemaker implantation in adult patients with congenital heart disease with abnormal septal anatomy.
