Exploring the prevalence of undetected bradyarrhythmia in dementia with Lewy bodies.

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
purposeTo explore the prevalence of undetected bradyarrhythmia in a cohort of people with dementia with Lewy bodies.
methodsThirty participants diagnosed with dementia with Lewy bodies were enrolled from three memory clinics in southern Sweden between May 2021 and November 2022. None had a history of high-grade atrioventricular block or sick sinus syndrome. Each participant underwent orthostatic testing, cardiac [
resultsThirteen participants (46.4%) had bradycardia at rest during orthostatic testing and four had an average heart rate < 60 beats per minute during ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring. Three participants (10.7%) received a diagnosis of sick sinus syndrome, of whom two received pacemaker implants to manage associated symptoms. None received a diagnosis of second- or third-degree atrioventricular block.
conclusionThis report showed a high prevalence of sick sinus syndrome in a clinical cohort of people with dementia with Lewy bodies. Further research on the causes and consequences of sick sinus syndrome in dementia with Lewy bodies is thus warranted.
