1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Atypical atrial flutter is seen post-ablation in patients, and it can be challenging to map. These flutters are typically set up around areas of scar in the left atrium. MRI can reliably identify left atrial scar. We propose a personalized computational model using patient specific scar information, to generate a monodomain model. In the model conductivities are adjusted for different tissue regions and flutter was induced with a premature pacing protocol. The model was tested prospectively in patients undergoing atypical flutter ablation. The simulation-predicted flutters were visualized and presented to clinicians. Validation of the computational model was motivated by recording from electroanatomical mapping. These personalized models successfully predicted clinically observed atypical flutter circuits and at times even better than invasive maps leading to flutter termination at isthmus sites predicted by the model.
