Papillary Muscle Ventricular Tachycardia or Ectopy: Diagnostics, Catheter Ablation and the Role of Intracardiac Echocardiography.
Review in Arrhythmia & electrophysiology review, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Ventricular arrhythmias originating from the papillary muscle of the left or right ventricle are specific clinical entities. They are usually focal in origin and can be identified by a characteristic ECG pattern. Intracardiac echocardiography appears to be the most suitable imaging method for assessment of the exact location of the focus at papillary muscles in association with activation mapping. We recently confirmed that ectopic foci were located within the distal, mid, or proximal (basal) third of the papillary muscle in 67%, 19%, and 14% of patients, respectively. Radiofrequency ablation has the potential to cure these specific arrhythmias. However, the procedure is usually challenging for catheter instability, despite navigation with intracardiac echocardiography. Cryoablation, which ensures catheter tip stability, could be a viable alternative in cases of the failure of radiofrequency catheter ablation.
