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

Catheter ablation has emerged as an effective treatment for atrial arrhythmias, and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of ablation strategies. Significant technological evolution and widespread increase in operator experience have facilitated the effectiveness of catheter ablation to achieve durable PVIs in single or multiple ablation procedures. Nevertheless, arrhythmia recurrence is a common problem even after establishing PVI. Data on catheter ablation in these patients are sparse and repeat ablation in this population is highly challenging. In this review we have summarized the available data as well as potential strategies of catheter ablation following the initial PVI.
