Predictors of recurrence in patients without non-inducibility of ventricular tachycardia at the end of ablation.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) non-inducibility at the end of ablation is associated with a less likely VT recurrence. However, it is not clear whether we should use VT non-inducibility as a routine end point of VT ablation. The aim of this study was to evaluate VT recurrence in patients in whom VT non-inducibility was not achieved at the end of the radiofrequency (RF) ablation and the factors attributing to the VT recurrence. Methods: We analyzed that 62 patients in whom VT non-inducibility was not achieved at the end of the RF ablation were studied. Results: Over 2 years, 22 (35%) of the cases had VT recurrences. A multivariate analysis showed that an LVEF ≥35% (HR: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.06-0.49; Conclusion: Even if VT non-inducibility was not achieved, patients with an LVEF ≥35% or in whom the clinical VT could be eliminated might be prevented from having VT recurrences. The validity of the VT non-inducibility of any VT should be evaluated considering each patient's background and the results of the procedure.
