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

aimsWe used a new grid-style multi-electrode mapping catheter (Advisor™ HD Grid, Abbott) and investigated its use for high density mapping of atrial tachycardias in adult patients with congenital heart disease. PATIENTS AND

methodsAll patients with congenital heart disease who had mapping of atrial tachycardias using the new grid-style catheter between March 2018 and April 2019 were included.

resultsA total of 24 adult patients had high density mapping of atrial tachycardias using the grid-style multi-electrode catheter. Mean procedure duration was 207 ± 72 min., mean fluoroscopy time was 7.1 ± 7.9 min. In patients with right atrial substrates, fluoroscopy time was shorter compared to biatrial or left atrial substrates (0.9 ± 2.2 min for right atrial substrates, n = 19 vs. 6.3 ± 8.3 min for left atrial substrates, n = 2 and 7.5 ± 4.3 min for biatrial substrates, n = 3, p = 0.01). A mean number of 14.814 ± 10.140 endocardial points were collected and 2.319 ± 1244 points were finally used to characterize the tachycardia. Procedural success was achieved in 21/24 (88%) subjects and partial success in 2/24 (8%) patients. Recurrence rate was low (12.5%). In one patient, radiofrequency ablation within the cavotricuspid isthmus resulted in occlusion of a branch of the right coronary artery. No complications related to the use of the mapping catheter itself occurred.

conclusionHigh density mapping of AT using the grid-style catheter showed promising results with respect to procedural and midterm outcome and fluoroscopy time. Using the grid-style catheter might offer advantages compared to other multi-electrode catheters used for high density mapping of AT in patients with CHD.
