Is VF an Ablatable Rhythm?
Review in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
opinion statementVentricular fibrillation (VF) has traditionally been considered to be a disorganized arrhythmia not amenable to catheter ablation. However, a better understanding of the VF pathophysiology has allowed identification of targets for ablation. Ablation targeting the premature ventricular complexes which trigger VF was proven to be associated with high success rates and long-term freedom from VF recurrence. Recent mapping data has identified rotors, focal breakthroughs, and figure of eight re-entries as main drivers maintaining human VF. Most interestingly, the type and the spatiotemporal behavior of these drivers are reproducible between different VF episodes. In addition, drivers are usually clustered at the scar borders. This has ushered in a new era of ablation targeting the VF substrate and the drivers maintaining VF with promising results.
