Combination of Intracardiac Echocardiography and Contact Force Sensing for Left Ventricular Papillary Muscle Arrhythmias.

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
objectivesThe catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) arising from the left ventricular (LV) papillary muscles (PMs) is challenging. This study sought to address whether the combination of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and contact force sensing (CFS) can improve the acute and long-term ablation outcomes of left ventricular papillary muscle arrhythmias. METHODS AND
resultsFrom May 2015 to August 2022, a total of thirty-three patients underwent catheter ablation for LV PM arrhythmias: VAs were located in anterolateral PMs in 11 and posteromedial PMs in 22. A combination of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and contact force sensing (CFS) was used in 21 of the 33 procedures. A mean of 6.93 ± 4.91 for lesions was used per patient, comparable between the CFS/ICE and no ICE/CFS (4.90 ± 2.23 vs. 10.17 ± 5.89;
conclusionsThe combination of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and contact force sensing (CFS) could provide precise geometries of cardiac endocavitary structures and accurate contact information for the catheter during ablation, which improved acute and long-term ablation outcomes. The routine adoption of this strategy should be considered to improve the outcomes of LV PM VA ablation.
