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

Background: The clinical significance of left atrial local electrogram fractionation after restoration of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been elucidated. Methods: We evaluated ultrahigh-resolution maps of the left atrium (LA) during RA pacing acquired after pulmonary vein isolation in 40 patients with AF. The association between low-voltage area (LVA, <0.5 mV), fractionated electrogram area (FEA, the highlighted area with LUMIPOINT™ Complex Activation), the interval from onset of LA activation to wavefront collision at the mitral isthmus (LA activation time), and wave propagation velocity (WPV) was evaluated quantitatively. Results: The total LVA, total FEA with ≥5.0 peaks or ≥7.0 peaks were 7.0 ± 7.9 cm Conclusion: Quantitative analysis of FEA together with LVA may facilitate the assessment of LA electrical remodeling.
