Importance of the length of the myocardial sleeve in the superior vena cava in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundPulmonary vein (PV) antrum isolation (PVAI) has proven to be a useful strategy for radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) worldwide. However, non-PV foci, especially from the superior vena cava (SVC), play an important role in initiating and maintaining AF.
methodsIn all, 427 consecutive patients with non-valvular AF who were admitted to our hospitals to undergo RFCA of AF using an EnSite
resultsL-SVC, longer and shorter diameter of SVC, and LAT of SVC were significantly longer in the SVC firing group than non-SVC firing group (
conclusionsIn view of these findings, L-SVC longer than 37.0 mm longer diameter SVC longer than 17.0 mm may be one of the important predictors of SVC firing in patients with AF.
