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

Radiofrequency catheter ablation (CA) has an established role in the management of patients with structural heart disease presenting with recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT). Due to the complex underlying substrate, high burden of comorbidities and concomitant heart failure (HF) status, these patients may be at higher risk of periprocedural complications. The prolonged low-output state related to VT induction and mapping, as well as the fluid overload due to irrigated CA and the use of general anaesthesia, may decompensate the HF status, leading to multiple-organ failure and increase in early post-procedural mortality. Proper identification of patients at high risk of periprocedural acute haemodynamic decompensation (AHD) has important implications in terms of procedural planning (i.e. prophylactic use of mechanical assistance devices) and pre-procedural management in order to optimise the HF status. In the present manuscript we focus on the clinical predictors of AHD and the strategies to improve pre-procedural risk stratification, as well as the evidence supporting the use of haemodynamic support during CA procedures.
