Impact of the size of non-ablated left atrial posterior wall area on outcomes after extensive encircling pulmonary vein isolation.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the size of the isolated surface area and non-ablated left atrial posterior area after extensive encircling pulmonary vein isolation (EEPVI) for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) on arrhythmia recurrence. This study included 132 consecutive persistent AF patients who underwent EEPVI guided by Ablation Index (AI). The isolated antral surface area (IASA) excluding the pulmonary veins, the non-ablated left atrial (LA) posterior wall surface area (PWSA), the ratio of IASA to LA surface area (IASA/LA ratio), and the ratio of PWSA to LA surface area (PWSA/LA ratio) were assessed using CARTO3 and the association with AF and atrial tachycardia (AT) recurrence was examined. At a mean follow-up of 13.2 ± 7.3 months, sinus rhythm was maintained in 115 (87%) patients. In the univariate Cox regression analysis, the factors that significantly predicted AT/AF recurrence were a history of heart failure, a higher CHA
