Structural Remodeling and Rotational Activity in Persistent/Long-Lasting Atrial Fibrillation: Gender-Effect Differences and Impact on Post-ablation Outcome.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background: Structural and post-ablation gender differences are reported in atrial fibrillation (AF). We analyzed the gender differences in structural remodeling and AF mechanisms in patients with persistent/long-lasting AF who underwent wide area circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (WACPVI). Materials and Methods: Ultra-high-density mapping was used to study atrial remodeling and AF drivers in 85 consecutive patients. Focal and rotational activity (RAc) were identified with the CartoFinder system and activation sequence analysis. The impact of RAc location on post-ablation outcomes was analyzed. Results: This study included 64 men and 21 women. RAc was detected in 73.4% of men and 38.1% of women ( Conclusion: Women have shown more advanced structural remodeling at ablation, which is associated with a lower incidence of RAc (usually located outside the WACPVI). These findings could explain post-ablation gender differences.
