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
objectivesto assess patients' perceptions after pacemaker implantation.
methodsa descriptive, cross-sectional observational study was conducted at a university hospital in the countryside of São Paulo, with a consecutive and non-probabilistic sample of adult patients with pacemakers. A questionnaire was used to assess patients' perceptions of pacemakers, with data analysis obtained by simple frequency and percentage of responses.
resultsof the 76 patients interviewed, the majority were female, had a partner, were inactive, had low levels of education and family income, with an average age of 68.3 years. The main reason for implant recommendation was complete atrioventricular block. Most (73.7%) reported no feelings of physical impairment, nor did they feel depressed or anxious. They also reported no changes in body image, daily activities, or leisure activities. Furthermore, they demonstrated a high level of confidence regarding the device use (61.8%).
conclusionspatients positively assessed the use of pacemakers.
