Three-Dimensional Noninvasive Imaging of Ventricular Arrhythmias in Patients With Premature Ventricular Contractions.
Article in IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveNoninvasive imaging of cardiac electrical activity promises to provide important information regarding the underlying arrhythmic substrates for successful ablation intervention and further understanding of the mechanism of such lethal disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of a novel 3-D cardiac activation imaging technique to noninvasively localize and image origins of focal ventricular arrhythmias in patients undergoing radio frequency ablation.
methodsPreprocedural ECG gated contrast enhanced cardiac CT images and body surface potential maps were collected from 13 patients within a week prior to the ablation. The electrical activation images were estimated over the 3-D myocardium using a cardiac electric sparse imaging technique, and compared with CARTO activation maps and the ablation sites in the same patients.
resultsNoninvasively-imaged activation sequences were consistent with the CARTO mapping results with an average correlation coefficient of 0.79, average relative error of 0.19, and average relative resolution error of 0.017. The imaged initiation sites of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) were, on average, within 8 mm of the last successful ablation site and within 3 mm of the nearest ablation site.
conclusionThe present results demonstrate the excellent performance of the 3-D cardiac activation imaging technique in imaging the activation sequence associated with PVC, and localizing the initial sites of focal ventricular arrhythmias in patients. These promising results suggest that the 3-D cardiac activation imaging technique may become a useful tool for aiding clinical diagnosis and management of ventricular arrhythmias.
