Additional cryoapplications at the pulmonary vein antrum using a 28-mm second-generation cryoballoon: a pilot study of extra-pulmonary vein ablation.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Isolation areas post-28-mm cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (CB-PVI) are smaller than post-radiofrequency PV antrum isolation at the left superior PV (LSPV) antrum and recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) can originate from this area. This pilot study evaluated the impact of additional extra-PV CB applications at the LSPV antrum following conventional CB-PVI. Eighteen paroxysmal AF patients underwent CB-PVI with single 3-min freeze techniques. Following the CB-PVI, 2-min CB applications were added once or twice at the LSPV antrum. Before and after extra-PV ablation, left atrial (LA) 3-D electroanatomical maps were created. Seventy-two total PVs were successfully isolated with 4.2 ± 0.4 applications/patient with 28-mm CBs. The mean LA posterior wall (LAPW) and non-isolated LAPW areas were 14.9 ± 3.6 and 6.9 ± 2.8 cm
