Remote dielectric sensing predicts elevated left atrial pressure in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: There are currently no established non-invasive indices of echocardiography for elevated left atrial pressure (LAP) especially in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Remote dielectric sensing (ReDS) is a novel non-invasive electromagnetic energy-based technology that quantifies total lung fluid, enabling the monitoring of volume status in patients with heart failure. The utility of ReDS for estimating LAP in patients with AF remains unknown. Methods: We prospectively investigated patients with AF in whom LAP was directly measured during catheter ablation for AF, and ReDS measurements were conducted the day before ablation. Elevated LAP was defined as LAP ≥ 15 mmHg. Results: A total of 61 patients were included (median age 66 years, 38 % female). Among them, 26 patients had elevated LAP. There was a positive correlation between ReDS and LAP ( Conclusions: Our results suggest ReDS could be a valuable marker of elevated LAP even in patients with AF. Further studies are needed to elucidate the effectiveness of a ReDS-guided decongestive strategy in patients with heart failure.
