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

introductionLeadless pacemakers (LPs) offer advantages over transvenous systems, but atrial LPs currently target the right atrial appendage (RAA), risking atrial dyssynchrony. METHODS AND

resultsWe report five patients in whom electroanatomic mapping and intracardiac ultrasound guided LP implantation into Bachmann's bundle (BB), a site shown to improve interatrial conduction and reduce atrial fibrillation risk. In four of five patients, BB fixation was successful with low pacing thresholds and short P-wave duration. One patient required conversion to RAA pacing due to high BB pacing thresholds. No intraprocedural complications occurred.

conclusionsThis series demonstrates the feasibility of leadless BB pacing, though technical challenges warrant further study.
