Improved procedural workflow for catheter ablation of paroxysmal AF with high-density mapping system and advanced technology: Rationale and study design of a multicenter international study.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05005143 (Improved Procedural Workflow For Catheter Ablation Of Paroxysmal AF With High Density Mapping System And Advanced Technology), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe antral region of pulmonary veins (PV)s seems to play a key role in a strategy aimed at preventing atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. Particularly, low-voltage activity in tissue such as the PV antra and residual potential within the antral scar likely represent vulnerabilities in antral lesion sets, and ablation of these targets seems to improve freedom from AF. The aim of this study is to validate a structured application of an approach that includes the complete abolition of any antral potential achieving electrical quiescence in antral regions.
methodsThe improveD procEdural workfLow for cathETEr ablation of paroxysmal AF with high density mapping system and advanced technology (DELETE AF) study is a prospective, single-arm, international post-market cohort study designed to demonstrate a low rate of clinical atrial arrhythmias recurrence with an improved procedural workflow for catheter ablation of paroxysmal AF, using the most advanced point-by-point RF ablation technology in a multicenter setting. About 300 consecutive patients with standard indications for AF ablation will be enrolled in this study. Post-ablation, all patients will be monitored with ambulatory event monitoring, starting within 30 days post-ablation to proactively detect and manage any recurrences within the 90-day blanking period, as well as Holter monitoring at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-ablation. Healthcare resource utilization, clinical data, complications, patients' medical complaints related to the ablation procedure and patient's reported outcome measures will be prospectively traced and evaluated. DISCUSSION: The DELETE AF trial will provide additional knowledge on long-term outcome following a structured ablation workflow, with high density mapping, advanced algorithms and local impedance technology, in an international multicentric fashion. DELETE AF is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05005143).
