Ventricular Electrograms Duration Map to Detect Ventricular Arrhythmia Substrate: the VEDUM Project Study.
Article in Circulation. Arrhythmia and electrophysiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundThe analysis of the wave-front activation patterns is crucial for the comprehension and treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT). The ventricular electrograms duration map (VEDUM) is a potential method to identify areas (VEDUM area) with slow and inhomogeneous activation. There is no available data on the characteristics and the arrhythmogenic role of VEDUM areas identified during sinus/paced rhythm.
methodsPatients referred for VT ablation were enrolled at 3 different centers. VEDUM maps during sinus/paced rhythm as well as substrate and functional maps were created; activation mapping was performed for all hemodynamically tolerated VT.
resultsThirty-two patients (mean age:70.1±9.4 years; males 93.8%) were enrolled. The VEDUM approach was achieved in all patients and the mean size of the VEDUM area was 12.1±6.9 cm
conclusionsVEDUM maps allow the identification of discrete areas of inhomogeneous and slow conduction. They represent a potential target for VT ablation, including patients with multiple morphologies.
