From minimally to maximally invasive; VT ablation in the setting of mechanical aortic and mitral valves.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Double mitral and aortic mechanical valves present an access challenge when planning a ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. In this case report, we describe a patient who was considered for stereotactic ablative radiotherapy but was unable to proceed due to unfavorable anatomy making them at high risk of fistula formation. The patient went on to have an endocardial VT ablation via mini-thoracotomy and transapical access without complication. This case highlights the need for careful consideration when planning treatment for patients with double mechanical valves.
