Substrate-based approaches in ventricular tachycardia ablation.
Review in Indian pacing and electrophysiology journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with structural heart disease is now part of standard care. Mapping and ablation of the clinical VT is often limited when the VT is noninducible, nonsustained or not haemodynamically tolerated. Substrate-based ablation strategies have been developed in an aim to treat VT in this setting and, subsequently, have been shown to improve outcomes in VT ablation when compared to focused ablation of mapped VTs. Since the initial description of linear ablation lines targeting ventricular scar, many different approaches to substrate-based VT ablation have been developed. Strategies can broadly be divided into three categories: 1) targeting abnormal electrograms, 2) anatomical targeting of conduction channels between areas of myocardial scar, and 3) targeting areas of slow and/or decremental conduction, identified with "functional" substrate mapping techniques. This review summarises contemporary substrate-based ablation strategies, along with their strengths and weaknesses.
