Local impedance measurements during contact force-guided cavotricuspid isthmus ablation for predicting an effective radiofrequency ablation.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2022. 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
Background: An ablation catheter capable of contact force (CF) and local impedance (LI) monitoring (IntellaNav StablePoint, Boston Scientific) has been recently launched. We evaluated the relationship between the CF and LI values during radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) along the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI). Methods: Fifty consecutive subjects who underwent a CTI-RFCA using IntellaNav StablePoint catheters were retrospectively studied. The initial CF and LI at the start of the RF applications and mean CF and minimum LI during the RF applications were measured. The absolute and percentage LI drops were calculated as the difference between the initial and minimum LIs and 100 × absolute LI drop/initial LI, respectively. Results: We analyzed 602 first-pass RF applications. A weak correlation was observed between the initial CF and LI ( Conclusions: The effective sites during the CF-guided CTI-RFCA had greater initial LI and LI drops than the ineffective sites. Absolute and percentage LI drops of 21 Ω and 10.8% may be appropriate targets for an effective ablation.
