Outcomes of atrial fibrillation ablation program based on single-shot techniques.

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
introductionSingle-shot techniques such as cryoballoon and multipolar phased pulmonary vein ablation catheter (PVAC) are an alternative to the point-by-point radiofrequency method for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. However, there is a lack of data concerning sequential use of single-shot techniques, that is, for both the index and redo ablation.
aimTo assess long-term outcomes of the 'single-shot techniques only' AF ablation strategy. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe analyzed all consecutive AF ablations performed over a 10-year period (2009-2019) in a center where a 'single-shot technique only' principle was followed from the start of the AF ablation program. Kaplan-Meier AF-free survival curves were calculated and complications were assessed on the basis of our prospectively maintained database.
resultsA total of 597 patients (62.4 ±12.5 years) with paroxysmal (78.1%) or persistent (21.9%) AF entered the study and 655 AF ablation procedures were performed. In 96.5% of redos (
conclusionsAn AF ablation program based solely on sequential use of two different single-shot techniques for both index and redo procedures is safe and effective. These observations might have important practical implications for new operators/centers starting AF ablation programs and for use of single-shot techniques for redo procedures.
