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

backgroundAtrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and cardiac ablation is one of the treatment modalities for persistent symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Gastroparesis is a rare complication of radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, which may be associated with high morbidity. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 44-year-old Caucasian male with persistent atrial fibrillation who presented with nausea, vomiting, bloating, and constipation after radiofrequency catheter ablation. He was found to have gastroparesis due to pyloric spasm that was treated with botulinum toxin injection.

conclusionThis case signifies the importance of identifying gastric complications after radiofrequency catheter ablation atrial fibrillation, and the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment of gastroparesis with botulinum toxin injection.
