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

Although electroanatomic mapping techniques have been previously applied to open chest epicardial ablation procedures, such efforts have often been limited by significant geometric distortions introduced by the need to use nonstandard mapping patch placements and by intrathoracic conductance changes introduced by having the pericardial space exposed. In this article, we present a case of a patient with recurrent hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia who underwent a successful open chest epicardial ablation procedure with electroanatomic mapping in which geometric distortions were minimized by judicious placement of mapping patches and the use of a saline bath within the pericardial space.
