Development and Clinical Evaluation of a Vascular Access-Optimized Perioperative Care Pathway for Temporary Pacemaker Implantation.

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
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a perioperative care pathway for temporary pacemaker implantation using a median cubital vein approach. Methods: A total of 238 patients who underwent non-emergency temporary pacemaker implantation between September 2020 and October 2024 were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the femoral vein group (F group) or the median cubital vein group (M group). The M group received a standardized perioperative nursing care pathway tailored to median cubital vein access. Electrode dislodgement and procedure-related complications were compared between the groups. Patient comfort and emotional status were assessed using the General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ), the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). The quality of nursing care was evaluated using predefined quality control standards. Results: The M group demonstrated significantly lower rates of electrode dislodgement and complications than the F group ( Conclusion: Compared with femoral vein access, temporary pacemaker implantation via the median cubital vein was associated with improved safety, greater patient comfort, and better emotional outcomes. The vascular access-optimized perioperative care pathway provided meaningful clinical benefits and warrants broader implementation.
