High-power, Short-duration Radiofrequency Ablation for the Treatment of AF.
Review in Arrhythmia & electrophysiology review, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
High-power, short-duration (HPSD) ablation for the treatment of AF is emerging as an alternative to ablation using conventional ablation generator settings characterised by lower power and longer duration. Although the reported potential advantages of HPSD ablation include less tissue oedema and collateral tissue damage, a reduction in procedural time and superior ablation lesion formation, clinical studies of HPSD ablation validating these observations are limited. One of the main challenges for HPSD ablation has been the inability to adequately assess temperature and lesion formation in real time. Novel catheter designs may improve the accuracy of intra-ablation temperature recording and correspondingly may improve the safety profile of HPSD ablation. Clinical studies of HPSD ablation are on-going and interpretation of the data from these and other studies will be required to ascertain the clinical value of HPSD ablation.
