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

backgroundCatheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF) represents a challenge for the electrophysiologist and there are still divergences regarding the best ablative approach to adopt. Create a new map of the duration of atrial bipolar electrograms (Atrial Electrogram DUration Map, AEDUM) to recognize a functional substrate during sinus rhythm and guide a patient-tailored ablative strategy for PsAF.

methodsForty PsAF subjects were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either for PVI alone (Group B

resultsElectrogram (EGM) duration was higher in Group B than in Group A (49±16.2ms vs 34.2±3.8ms; p-value<0.001). In Group B the mean cumulative AEDUM area was 21.8±8.2cm

conclusionsAll PsAF patients exhibited AEDUM areas. An ablation approach targeting these areas resulted in a more effective strategy compared with PVI only.
