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

Background Ultra-high-density mapping enables detailed mechanistic analysis of atrial reentrant tachycardia but has yet to be used to assess circuit conduction velocity (CV) patterns in adults with congenital heart disease. Methods and Results Circuit pathways and central isthmus CVs were calculated from consecutive ultra-high-density isochronal maps at 2 tertiary centers over a 3-year period. Circuits using anatomic versus surgical obstacles were considered separately and pathway length <50th percentile identified small circuits. CV analysis was used to derive a novel index for prediction of postablation conduction block. A total of 136 supraventricular tachycardias were studied (60% intra-atrial reentrant, 14% multiple loop). Circuits with anatomic versus surgical obstacles featured longer pathway length (119 mm; interquartile range [IQR], 80-150 versus 78 mm; IQR, 63-95;
