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

In cardiac electrophysiology, invasive procedures like catheter ablations or device implantations are getting increasingly complex. This poses challenges especially for electrophysiologists in training, not only to learn how to perform the procedure, but also how to manage possible complications. The present article uses exemplary case studies to present how to control complications and how to avoid them. The presented cases deal with complications such as air embolism in left atrial procedures, iatrogenic vascular injuries such as aortic dissection or dissection of the coronary sinus, complications and challenges with lead revisions, and pericardial tamponade. In each case, measures for avoidance as well as practical guidance for management are shown when the respective complication occurs.
