Understanding Lesion Creation Biophysics and Improved Lesion Assessment during Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation. The Perfect Combination to Achieve Durable Lesions in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia, while pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has become a cornerstone in its treatment. The creation of durable lesions is crucial for successful and long-lasting PVI, as inconsistent lesions lead to reconnections and recurrence after ablation. Various approaches have been developed to assess lesion quality and transmurality
