High-Power Short-Duration Ablation of Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation.
Review 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 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
Catheter ablation has become a cornerstone in atrial fibrillation (AF) therapy, improving freedom from all-atrial arrhythmias, as well as outperforming antiarrhythmic drugs in alleviating AF-related symptoms, reducing hospitalizations, and enhancing quality of life. Nevertheless, the success rate of traditional radiofrequency ablation (RFA) methods remains less than ideal. To address these issues, refinement in RFA strategies has been developed to improve efficacy and laboratory efficiency during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). High-power short-duration (HPSD) RFA has emerged as a safe strategy to reduce the time required to produce durable lesions. This article reviews critical aspects of HPSD ablation in the management of both paroxysmal and persistent AF, covering aspects such as effectiveness, safety, procedural intricacies, and the underlying biophysics.
