Cardiac endocardial left atrial substrate and lesion depth mapping using near-infrared spectroscopy.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a rapid irregular electrical activity in the upper chamber and the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Many patients require radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy to restore sinus rhythm. Pulmonary vein isolation requires distinguishing normal atrial wall from the pulmonary vein tissue, and atrial substrate ablation requires differentiating scar tissue, fibrosis, and adipose tissue. However, current anatomical mapping methods for strategically locating ablation sites by identifying structural substrates in real-time are limited. An intraoperative tool that accurately provides detailed structural information and classifies endocardial substrates could help improve RF guidance during RF ablation therapy. In this work, we propose a 7F NIRS integrated ablation catheter and demonstrate endocardial mapping on
