Voltage combined with pace mapping is simple and effective for ablation of noninducible premature ventricular contractions originating from the right ventricular outflow tract.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPremature ventricular contractions (PVCs) from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) can resist conventional mapping strategies. Studies regarding optimal mapping and ablation methods for patients with noninducible RVOT-PVCs are limited. We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of a novel mapping strategy for these cases: voltage mapping combined with pace mapping. HYPOTHESIS:
methodsWe retrospectively included symptomatic patients (n = 148; 76 males; age, 44.5 ± 1.4 years) with drug-refractory PVCs originating from the RVOT, who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA), and stratified them as Group 1 and Group 2. Group 1 patients had noninducible RVOT-PVCs, determined after programmed stimulation, burst pacing, and isoproterenol infusion (n = 21; 12 males; age, 39.5 ± 10.8 years). Group 2 patients had inducible PVCs. Group 1 patients were subjected to voltage mapping combined with pace mapping; Group 2 underwent conventional mapping. In all patients prior to RFCA, detailed 3-dimensional electroanatomic voltage maps of the RVOT were obtained during sinus rhythm using the CARTO system.
resultsPatients from both groups had similar success and complication rates associated with the RFCA. In Group 2, 89% (113/127) experienced the earliest and the successful ablation points in the voltage transitional zone. During the follow-up (36 ± 8 months), patients from both groups suffered similar rates of PVC relapse (2/21 and 7/127, respectively; P = 0.826).
conclusionsVoltage mapping combined with pace mapping is effective and safe for patients with noninducible RVOT-PVCs determined by conventional methods.
