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

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has updated its guidelines on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronisation. As the majority are class II recommendations (61%) and based on expert opinion (59%), a critical appraisal for the Dutch situation was warranted. A working group has been established, consisting of specialists in cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, geriatrics, allied professionals in cardiac pacing, and patient organisations with support from the Knowledge Institute of the Dutch Association of Medical Specialists. They assessed the evidence leading to the recommendations and the suitability for daily Dutch practice. Several recommendations have been amended or omitted altogether if a conflicting Dutch guideline has recently been published, such as a guideline on performing magnetic resonance imaging in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices. The recent Dutch guideline on implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy has recommended implanting cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices without a defibrillator function. Shared decision making has received a more prominent role in the ESC guidelines and is discussed in more detail in this document. The recommendations given in this document are intended for health care professionals involved in the care of patients with an indication for cardiac pacing and are approved by the participating professional societies and the patient organisation Harteraad.
