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

objectiveTo investigate whether switching the ablation catheter between the right and left atria through transseptal puncture site can be accurately performed without fluoroscopy.

methodsForty patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (mean age, 60.2±7.4 years; 65% males) got "2C3L" approach were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to undergo either crossing interatrial septum guided by fluoroscopy (trackless group) or crossing septum guided by track image that was mapped by Carto3 system (track group).

resultsThe three-dimensional image of the track could be mapped smoothly and shown clearly. No significant differences were found in the success rates between the two groups (100% vs. 100%, p>0.05). However, the procedure of crossing septum was completed without any fluoroscopy use in track group, which showed a shorter procedure time than trackless group (4±3 s vs. 20±10 s, p<0.01).

conclusionVisualizing the track passing through the puncture site using Carto3 system can guide the ablation catheter in safely crossing the intra-atrial septum quickly with zero fluoroscopy.
