Predictors of Low Voltage Zone and Sex Differences in Low Voltage Zone Distribution in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Background: Previous studies have revealed the left atrial (LA) low voltage zone (LVZ) are tightly linked to the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Furthermore ablation that targets the LA LVZ can improve patient prognosis. The aim of this study was to identify potential clinical predictors of the LA LVZ, to investigate possible sex differences in the distribution of LA LVZ, and to examine the relationship between LA LVZ and AF recurrence. Methods: A total of 108 patients who underwent AF catheter ablation and LA high-density electro-anatomic mapping were enrolled in the study. Of these, 56 patients with LA LVZ Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that persistent AF (odds ratio [OR] = 4.563, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.194-17.431, Conclusions: In this study cohort, persistent AF, LAV and BNP were independent predictors of LA LVZ. Furthermore, female sex, LAV and BNP were independent predictors of severe LA LVZ. Females had a significantly greater extent of LVZ than males, especially in the anterior and septal walls. Patients with LA LVZ had a higher risk of recurrent AF.
