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

Cardiac electrophysiology study (EPS) and catheter ablation procedure are established diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for cardiac arrhythmias. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a relatively rare but potentially fatal complication of Cardiac electrophysiology study (EPS). The paradoxical embolism (PDE) occurs due to an intracardiac defect with a right to left shunt with patent foramen ovale (PFO) being the most common cause. The simultaneous occurrence of PE and PDE is rare. Here we present a case of PE and PDE after EPS and radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the slow pathway in a patient with recurrent supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) due to atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT). To our knowledge, such a case of PE and PDE has not been reported after SVT ablation.
