Safe and effective delivery of high-power, short-duration radiofrequency ablation lesions with a flexible-tip ablation catheter.
Article in Heart rhythm O2, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background: High-power, short-duration (HPSD) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may reduce ablation time. Concerns that catheter-mounted thermocouples (TCs) can underestimate tissue temperature, resulting in elevated risk of steam pop formation, potentially limit widespread adoption of HPSD ablation. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of HPSD and low-power, long-duration (LPLD) RFA in the context of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Methods: An open-irrigated ablation catheter with a contact force sensor and a flexible-tip electrode containing a TC at its distal end (TactiFlex Results: A total of 545 ablations were delivered: 252 with LPLD (0 steam pops) and 293 with HPSD RFA (2 steam pops) ( Conclusion: An investigational ablation catheter effectively delivered RFA lesions. Ablation time required to achieve PVI with HPSD with this catheter was >3-fold shorter than with LPLD RFA.
