Epicardial Pulsed Field Ablation of Ganglionated Plexi: Computational and Pre-Clinical Evaluation of a Bipolar Sub-Xiphoid Catheter for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Epicardial pulsed field ablation (PFA) of ganglionated plexi (GPs) is being explored as a potential treatment for atrial fibrillation. Initial work using open-chest access with a monopolar ablation device has been completed. This study describes the early development work for a device that can be used with subxiphoid access and deliver bipolar ablation pulses. Electric field computational models have been used for the initial guidance on pulse parameters. An in vivo assessment of these ablation parameters has been performed in an open-chest canine study, while subxiphoid access and navigation of the device has been demonstrated in a porcine model. Results from this acute study have demonstrated the promising potential of this approach.
