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

Catheter ablation is a rapidly expanding and evolving field. The advent of interventional techniques and advances in technology have allowed catheter ablation to supplant antiarrhythmic surgery for ventricular arrhythmia treatment. However, issues related to access and energy delivery limit the use of catheter ablation in some cases. Hybrid catheter-based and surgical techniques represent a novel approach to overcome these limitations. The hybrid technique combines the strengths and minimises the limitations of either catheter or surgical ablation alone. There is a growing body of evidence in the literature supporting the safety and efficacy of the hybrid surgical technique. This review aims to provide an overview of hybrid surgical-catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmia.
