A novel approach for effective superior vena cava isolation using the CARTO electroanatomical mapping system.
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 6 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
backgroundPrevious studies have demonstrated that some patients have spontaneous right atrium (RA)-superior vena cava (SVC) conduction block, which could be utilized to isolate the SVC effectively by using the Rhythmia mapping system (Boston Scientific). However, employing this approach for SVC isolation using the CARTO electroanatomical mapping system (Biosense Webster) has not yet been clarified. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SVC isolation using the extended early meets late (EEML) tool with the CARTO system.
methodsThe patients who underwent SVC isolation using the CARTO system were enrolled in this study. The RA-SVC conduction block was visualized with an EEML tool. We prospectively assessed the safety and efficacy of SVC isolation using this system.
resultsWe analyzed 54 patients, and all SVCs were successfully isolated with no complications. Altogether, 44 patients (81.5%) had spontaneous RA-SVC conduction block, and the remaining 10 patients (18.5%) did not. The block group required fewer radiofrequency deliveries for the SVC isolation than the nonblock group (10.7 ± 5.0 vs 15.5 ± 4.8,
conclusionsApproximately 80% of the patients in this study developed a spontaneous RA-SVC conduction block, which might contribute to shortening the time of ablation and avoiding complications.
