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
Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine whether left ventricular electrical potential measured by electromechanical mapping with the NOGA XP system has predictive value for response to CRT. Background: Approximately 30% of patients who undergo cardiac resynchronization therapy do not see the expected effects. Methods: The group of 38 patients qualified for CRT implantation were included in the study, of which 33 patients were analyzed. A 15% reduction in ESV after 6 months of pacing was used as a criterion for a positive response to CRT. The mean value and sum of unipolar and bipolar potentials obtained by mapping with the NOGA XP system and their predictive value in relation to the effect of CRT were analyzed using a bulls-eye projection at three levels: 1) the global value of the left ventricular (LV) potentials, 2) the potentials of the individual LV walls and 3) the mean value of the potentials of the individual segments (basal and middle) of the individual LV walls. Results: 24 patients met the criterion of a positive response to CRT vs. 9 non-responders. At the global analysis stage, the independent predictors of favorable response to CRT were the sum of the unipolar potential and bipolar mean potential. In the analysis of individual left ventricular walls, the mean bipolar potential of the anterior and posterior wall and in the unipolar system, mean septal potential was found to be an independent predictor of favorable response to CRT. In the detailed segmental analysis, the independent predictors were the bipolar potential of the mid-posterior wall segment and the basal anterior wall segment. Conclusions: Measurement of bipolar and unipolar electrical potentials with the NOGA XP system is a valuable method for predicting a favorable response to CRT.
