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

purposeTo provide a brief overview of some relevant technological advances in the field of three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping (3D-EAM) that have recently entered the clinical arena and their role in guiding catheter ablation (CA) of complex atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.

methodsIn this technical report, we describe the general features of three novel algorithms featured in the updated CARTO PRIME™ mapping module for CARTO®3 version 7 3D-EAM system (Biosense Webster Inc., Diamond Bar, CA, USA): local activation time (LAT) hybrid, coherent mapping and map replay modules. We also report three challenging arrhythmia cases in which CA was successfully guided by these softwares.

resultsThe LAT hybrid module was used in a case of premature ventricular complex originating from the right coronary cusp. This algorithm facilitated safe positioning of the ablation catheter away from the right coronary ostium, avoiding potential harm to this vital structure. The coherent mapping module helped to identify the critical as well as a bystander isthmus of an atrial macro-re-entrant tachycardia in a grown-up patient with congenital heart disease. The map replay module allowed rapid retrospective activation mapping of two unstable ventricular tachycardias in a case of nonischemic cocaine-associated cardiomyopathy.

conclusion3D-EAM systems offer significant advantages in the management of challenging arrhythmias, and the introduction of novel algorithms underpins improvements in patients' outcomes. Given the increasing sophistication of these systems, however, a close collaboration among cardiac electrophysiologists, engineers and technicians is highly needed in order to get the best from the available technology.
