Pulsed Field Ablation of the Porcine Ventricle Using a Focal Lattice-Tip Catheter.
Article in Circulation. Arrhythmia and electrophysiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
backgroundOur understanding of catheter-based pulsed field ablation (PFA) of the ventricular myocardium is limited. We conducted a series of exploratory evaluations of ventricular PFA in swine ventricles.
methodsA focal lattice-tip catheter was used to deliver proprietary biphasic monopolar PFA applications to swine ventricles under general anesthesia, with guidance from electroanatomical mapping, fluoroscopy, and intracardiac echocardiography. We conducted experiments to assess the impact of (1) delivery repetition (2×, 3×, or 4×) at each location, (2) epicardial PFA delivery, and (3) confluent areas of shallow healed endocardial scar created by prior PFA (4 weeks earlier) on subsequent endocardial PFA. Additional assessments included PFA optimized for the ventricle, lesion visualization by intracardiac echocardiography imaging, and immunohistochemical insights.
resultsExperiment no. 1: lesions (n=49) were larger with delivery repetition of either 4× or 3× versus 2×: length 17.6±3.9 or 14.2±2.0 versus 12.7±2.0 mm (
conclusionsThis in vivo evaluation offers insights into the behavior of endocardial or epicardial PFA delivered using the lattice-tip catheter to normal or scarred porcine ventricular myocardium, thereby setting the stage for future clinical studies.
