AF driver detection in pulmonary vein area by electropcardiographic imaging: Relation with a favorable outcome of pulmonary vein isolation.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the most successful treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) nowadays. However, not all AF patients benefit from PVI. In this study, we evaluate the use of ECGI to identify reentries and relate rotor density in the pulmonary vein (PV) area as an indicator of PVI outcome. Rotor maps were computed in a set of 29 AF patients using a new rotor detection algorithm. The relationship between the distribution of reentrant activity and the clinical outcome after PVI was studied. The number of rotors and proportion of PSs in different atrial regions were computed and compared retrospectively in two groups of patients: patients that remained in sinus rhythm 6 months after PVI and patients with arrhythmia recurrence. The total number of rotors obtained was higher in patients returning to arrhythmia after the ablation (4.31 ± 2.77 vs. 3.58 ± 2.67%,
