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

A 58-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy was admitted with heart failure. He had a history of two catheter ablation procedures for ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating from the intraventricular septum (IVS). Before dual valve replacement (DVR), he suffered a VT storm. An electrophysiological study revealed an extended low-voltage area at the IVS with the exit of the induced VT at the anterior side. Radiofrequency application was performed at the VT exit as a landmark for surgical cryoablation (SA). During the DVR, SA was performed at the IVS using this landmark. After SA, the patient had no ventricular tachyarrhythmia.
