Low heart deceleration capacity imply higher atrial fibrillation-free rate after ablation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06202209 (The Impact of Autonomic Function on Recurrence Following Circumferential Pulmonary Vein Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
How deceleration capacity (DC) and acceleration capacity (AC) of heart rate associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and ablation is still not clear. The dynamic changes of AC, DC and conventional heart rate variability (HRV) parameters were characterized in 154 subjects before circumferential pulmonary veins isolation (CPVI) and three days, 3 months and 6 months after CPVI. The DCs of the recurrent group decreased significantly at each time point after CPVI; the DCs of the recurrence-free group before CPVI and three days, 3 months and 6 months after CPVI were 7.06 ± 1.77, 3.79 ± 1.18, 4.22 ± 1.96 and 3.97 ± 0.98 ms respectively, which also decreased significantly at each time point and were significantly lower than these of recurrent group. Conversely, the AC of recurrent and recurrence-free groups increased significantly at each time point after CPVI; the ACs of recurrence-fee group were significantly higher than these of recurrent group at each time point. No stable difference trend of HRV parameters was found between two groups. Further Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that DC < 4.8 ms or AC ≥ -5.1 ms displayed significant higher recurrence-free rates. In conclusion, high AC and low DC imply higher AF-free rate after ablation.
