Validation of Dipole Density Mapping During Atrial Fibrillation and Sinus Rhythm in Human Left Atrium.
Article in JACC. Clinical electrophysiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
objectivesThis study sought to validate the accuracy of noncontact electrograms against contact electrograms in the left atrium during sinus rhythm (SR) and atrial fibrillation (AF).
backgroundNoncontact mapping offers the opportunity to assess global cardiac activation in the chamber of interest. A novel noncontact mapping system, which records intracardiac voltage to derive cellular charge sources (dipole density), allows real-time mapping of AF to guide ablation.
methodsNoncontact and contact unipolar electrogram pairs were recorded simultaneously from multiple locations. Morphology correlation and timing difference of reconstructed electrograms obtained from a noncontact catheter were compared with those from contact electrograms obtained from a contact catheter at the same endocardial locations.
resultsA total of 796 electrogram pairs in SR and 969 electrogram pairs in AF were compared from 20 patients with persistent AF. The median morphology correlation and timing difference (ms) in SR was 0.85 (interquartile range [IQR]: 0.71 to 0.94) and 6.4 ms (IQR: 2.6 to 17.1 ms); in AF was 0.79 (IQR: 0.69 to 0.88) and 14.4 ms (IQR: 6.7 to 26.2 ms), respectively. The correlation was stronger and the timing difference was less when the radial distance (r) from the noncontact catheter center to the endocardium was ≤ 40 versus > 40 mm; 0.87 (IQR: 0.72 to 0.94) versus 0.73 (IQR: 0.56 to 0.88) and 5.7 ms (IQR: 2.6 to 15.4 ms) versus 15.1 ms (IQR: 4.1 to 27.7 ms); p < 0.01 when in SR; 0.81 (IQR: 0.69 to 0.89) versus 0.67 (IQR: 0.45 to 0.82) and 12.3 ms (IQR: 5.9 to 21.8 ms) versus 28.3 ms (IQR: 16.2 to 36.0 ms); p < 0.01 when in AF.
conclusionsThis novel noncontact dipole density mapping system provides comparable reconstructed atrial electrogram measurements in SR or AF in human left atrium when the anatomical site of interest is ≤40 mm from the mapping catheter.
