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
Prolongation of the pulmonary artery potentials (PAPs) in response to short coupling intervals was related to polymorphic QRS configurations during the ventricular tachycardia originating above the pulmonary valve (PA-VT). This prospective study was aimed to investigate the mechanisms of polymorphic changes during the PA-VT. We performed the mapping above the pulmonary valve using a 20-polar circumferential catheter and three-dimensional integrated intracardiac echocardiography in 9 consecutive patients with outflow tract arrhythmias undergoing catheter ablation (UMIN ID: UMIN000021682). The location of successful ablation was right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in 6 patients, above the pulmonary valve in 1 patient, left coronary cusp in 1 patient, and unknown in 1 patient. The PAP was detected in six (67%) patients with bipolar voltage of 0.56 ± 0.27 mV. Pacing from bipolar electrodes of the circumferential catheter located above the pulmonary valve captured the PA myocardium only in 1 patient who had the PA-VT (100% in PA-VT vs 0% in non-PA-VT, P = 0.0046), and slight changes of the QRS morphology was observed in accordance with the conduction delay from the stimulus to activation of the RVOT myocardium. The selective PAP capture with conduction delays evoked by bipolar stimulations through a 20-polar circumferential catheter may be a characteristic property of patients with the PA-VT. Conduction delays within the PA and PA-RVOT junction appears to contribute polymorphic QRS changes during the PA-VT.
