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
backgroundWe hypothesized that high-resolution activation mapping during sinus rhythm (SR) in Koch's triangle (KT) can be used to describe the most delayed atrial potential around the atrioventricular node and evaluated whether ablation targeting of this potential is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT).
methodsWe conducted a prospective, non-randomized, observational study using high-resolution activation mapping from the sinus node to KT with a PENTARAY or OCTARAY catheter using the CARTO 3 cardiac mapping system (Biosense Webster) during SR in 62 consecutive patients (22 men; age [mean ± standard deviation] = 55 ± 14 years) treated for typical AVNRT at our institution from August 2021 to March 2023.
resultsIn all cases, the most delayed atrial potential was observed near the His potential within KT. Ablation targeting of this potential helped successfully treat each case of AVNRT, with a junctional rhythm observed at the ablation site. Initial ablation was deemed successful in 55/62 patients (89%); in the remaining seven patients, lesion expansion resolved AVNRT. One procedural complication occurred, namely, a transient atrioventricular block lasting 45 s. One patient experienced a transient tachycardic episode by the 1-month follow-up, but no further episodes were noted up to the 1-year follow-up.
conclusionActivation mapping at KT during SR with the high-resolution CARTO system clearly revealed the most delayed atrial potential near the His potential within KT. Targeting this potential was a safe and effective treatment method for patients with typical AVNRT in our study.
