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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice and induces cardiac dysfunction and stroke. The development of AF requires a trigger and also an electroanatomic substrate capable of both initiating and perpetuating AF. In the past decade, ectopic beats originating from the pulmonary veins (PV) have been identified as a source of paroxysmal AF. Thus, strategies that target the PV, including the PV antrum, are the cornerstone of most AF ablation procedures. Recently, alternative technologies to radiofrequency catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF such as balloon ablation modalities have been developed. The purpose of this review is to discuss cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal AF.
