Visualization of left ventricular Purkinje fiber distribution using widefield optical coherence microscopy.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe distribution and connection of ventricular Purkinje fibers are known to be associated with idiopathic left ventricular arrhythmias. Unusual anatomy is one of the important factors associated with catheter ablation success rate. With the widefield high-speed, swept-source optical coherence microscopy (OCM) and light microscope, we visualized the left ventricular Purkinje fiber distribution.
methodsLeft ventricular walls of five adult ovine hearts were incised from the mitral annulus to the apex. Using the widefield OCM technique and light microscopy, we observed the distribution, direction, depth, and dividing patterns of the Purkinje network with multiple tangential angles and without tissue destruction.
resultsWidefield OCM was used to characterize the ovine heart Purkinje network system in a 4 × 4 mm
conclusionUsing widefield OCM, we were able to observe the left bundle and its branching patterns in ovine left ventricle without tissue destruction. This might be applied to future cardiac ablation procedures.
