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

Background: In the electrophysiologic (EP) lab, technical support for implantable cardioverter/defibrillators (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) procedures is often limited by the availability and costs of field clinical specialist (FCS) bioengineers. Methods: This study explores the viability of using remote support through an internet-based platform for ICD and CRT-D implantation procedures, aiming to enhance efficiency and overcome geographical or pandemic-related barriers. After preclinical phases, thirty patients underwent ICD/CRT-D guided either remotely or with on-site FCS implantation at two primary cardiac care centers, with ten procedures guided remotely and twenty cases with on-site FCS. Results: All procedures in both study arms were successfully completed (100% of cases). Procedural time was shorter in the telemedicine group ( Conclusion: The study demonstrates the feasibility of remotely supported ICD and CRT-D implantation procedures.
