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

Noninvasive cardiac imaging is crucial for the characterization of patients who are candidates for cardiac ablations, for both procedure planning and long-term management. Multimodality cardiac imaging can provide not only anatomical parameters but even more importantly functional information that may allow a better risk stratification of cardiac patients. Moreover, fusion of anatomical and functional data derived from noninvasive cardiac imaging with the results of endocavitary mapping may possibly allow a better identification of the ablation substrate and also avoid peri-procedural complications. As a result, imaging-guided electrophysiological procedures are associated with an improved outcome than traditional ablation procedures, with a consistently lower recurrence rate.
