Comparison of the electrophysiological properties of the pulmonary veins between paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Background: The role of the pulmonary veins (PVs) as triggers in atrial fibrillation (AF) is well-known; however, their detailed electrophysiological properties have not been thoroughly examined. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the electrophysiological properties of the PVs between paroxysmal AF (pAF) and persistent AF (perAF). Methods: Prior to catheter ablation in patients with pAF ( Results: Compared with perAF, the myocardial sleeves of PVs for pAF were significantly larger for all PVs. The ERP for perAF was significantly shorter than that for pAF for all PVs. The pacing threshold for perAF was significantly higher than that for pAF for the right and left superior PVs. Conclusion: In patients with perAF, a decrease in the normal myocardial sleeves and a shortening of the ERP were observed for all PVs. Those changes in the electrophysiological properties of the PVs might be related to the persistence of AF.
