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

Ablation using non-irrigated catheter can lead to rapid rise in temperature of electrode tissue interface from tissue desiccation, steam and coagulum formation and this may limit power delivery and lesion size. We present a novel technique of external irrigation through the long sheath while using a non-irrigated ablation catheter during AV Node ablation and conduction system pacing. By bringing the long sheath closer to the tip of non-irrigated catheter and injecting cold normal saline allows cooling of electrode tissue interface leading to increase in power delivery resulting in a deeper lesion.
