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

Leadless intracardiac pacemakers (LIP) are a technological breakthrough that offer tremendous benefits to patients, including minimally invasive delivery, improved quality of life, and reduced financial burden. However, limited by its size and capacity, the battery component becomes a major roadblock to further advancing LIP technology toward lifelong, maintenance-free implants without the need for device retrieval or replacement. Here, we present an integrated, nanogenerator-powered LIP with a clinically compatible architecture. The LIP is solely powered by a double-oscillatory triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) that is capable of generating a volumetric power density of 276.6 μW cc
