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

During circumferential pulmonary vein (PV) isolation for ongoing atrial fibrillation (AF), distinguishing passive conduction to the pulmonary vein (PV) from rapid PV arrhythmia in the isolated PV is difficult. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate both the feasibility of distinguishing the PV tachycardia after circumferential PV isolation and the electrophysiological characteristics of these tachycardia. Among 178 consecutive patients who underwent circumferential PV isolation during ongoing AF, fibrillatory PV converted to a regular cycle length PV tachycardia independent of the atrial rhythm (=independent PV tachycardia) in 13 PVs among 12 (7%) patients. We classified independent PV tachycardia according to 3 different atrial rhythms: sinus rhythm (type 1, n = 2), atrial tachycardia (type 2, n = 4), and AF (type 3, n = 6). independent PV tachycardia was observed in 3 right PV and 10 left PV (P = 0.0864). There were 10 mappable independent PV tachycardia, in which 8 were focal and 2 were macroreentrant tachycardia. i-PVT can be diagnosed in a small number of patients who underwent circumferential PV isolation during AF. The main mechanism or independent PV tachycardia was focal tachycardia mainly in the left PV.
