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
Aims: In Brugada syndrome (BrS), with spontaneous or ajmaline-induced coved ST elevation, epicardial electro-anatomic potential duration maps (epi-PDMs) were detected on a right ventricle (RV) outflow tract (RVOT), an arrhythmogenic substrate area (AS area), abolished by epicardial-radiofrequency ablation (EPI-AS-RFA). Novel CineECG, projecting 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms on a 3D heart model, previously localized depolarization forces in RV/RVOT in BrS patients. We evaluate 12-lead ECG and CineECG depolarization/repolarization changes in spontaneous type-1 BrS patients before/after EPI-AS-RFA, compared with normal controls. Methods and results: In 30 high-risk BrS patients (93% males, age 37 + 9 years), 12-lead ECGs and epi-PDMs were obtained at baseline, early after EPI-AS-RFA, and late follow-up (FU) (2.7-16.1 months). CineECG estimates temporo-spatial localization during depolarization (Early-QRS and Terminal-QRS) and repolarization (ST-Tpeak, Tpeak-Tend). Differences within BrS patients (baseline vs. early after EPI-AS-RFA vs. late FU) were analysed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test, while differences between BrS patients and 60 age-sex-matched normal controls were analysed by the Mann-Whitney test. In BrS patients, baseline QRS and QTc durations were longer and normalized after EPI-AS-ATC (151 ± 15 vs. 102 ± 13 ms, Conclusion: CineECG and 12-lead ECG showed a complex temporo-spatial perturbation of both depolarization and repolarization in BrS patients, prevalently localized in RV/RVOT, progressively normalizing after epicardial ablation.
