Pulsed field ablation of superior vena cava in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation originates most commonly in the pulmonary veins. However, the superior vena cava has proved to be arrhythmogenic in some cases. Pulsed field ablation, an emerging ablation technology, selectively affects myocardial tissue. Herein, we present a case of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a 64-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital for pulsed field ablation. The tachycardia was recurrent despite four successful pulmonary vein isolations. The superior vena cava was determined to be involved in arrhythmogenesis. The atrial fibrillation terminated immediately after the pulsed field ablation discharge at the superior vena cava.
