Initial experience of temperature-controlled irrigated radiofrequency ablation for ischaemic cardiomyopathy ventricular tachycardia ablation.
Article in Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe DiamondTemp ablation (DTA) catheter system delivers high power, open-irrigated, temperature-controlled radiofrequency (RF) ablation. This novel ablation system has not been previously used for ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation.
objectiveFeasibility of using the DTA catheter system for VT ablation in ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients.
methodTen ICM patients with optimal anti-arrhythmic drug therapy and implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD) were recruited. VT inducibility testing was performed at the end of the procedure. ICD data for device detected VT episodes and device treated VT episodes were collected for 6-months pre- and post-ablation.
resultsSubstrate analysis demonstrated reductions in the borderzone area of 4.4 cm
conclusionThe DTA system resulted in adequate lesion characteristics with effective substrate modification, acute procedural success and improved outcomes at intermediate-term follow-up. Randomised controlled trials are required to compare the performance of the DTA system against conventional ablation catheters.
