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

Background: Previous studies have identified noninvasive methods for predicting atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation (CA). We assessed the association between AF recurrence and atrial late potentials (ALPs), which were measured using P-wave signal-averaged electrocardiography (P-SAECG). Methods: Consecutive patients with paroxysmal AF who underwent their first CA at our institution between August 2015 and August 2019 were enrolled. P-SAECG was performed before CA. Two ALP parameters were evaluated: the root-mean-square voltage during the terminal 20 ms (RMS Results: Of the 190 patients (age: 65 ± 11 years, 37% women) enrolled in this study, 21 (11%) had AF recurrence. The positive ALP rate was significantly higher in the recurrence group than in the nonrecurrence group (86% vs. 64%, Conclusions: Positive ALP on pre-CA P-SAECG is associated with AF recurrence after CA.
