Optimizing ventricular tachycardia ablation through imaging-based assessment of arrhythmic substrate: A comprehensive review and roadmap for the future.
Review in Heart rhythm O2, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening heart rhythm and has long posed a complex challenge in the field of cardiology. Recent developments in advanced imaging modalities have aimed to improve comprehension of underlying arrhythmic substrate for VT. To this extent, high-resolution cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and cardiac computed tomography (CCT) have emerged as tools for accurately visualizing and characterizing scar tissue, fibrosis, and other critical structural abnormalities within the heart, providing novel insights into VT triggers and substrate. However, clinical implementation of knowledge derived from these advanced imaging techniques in improving VT treatment and guiding invasive therapeutic strategies continues to pose significant challenges. A pivotal concern lies in the absence of standardized imaging protocols and analysis methodologies, resulting in a large variance in data quality and consistency. Furthermore, the clinical significance and outcomes associated with VT substrate characterization through CMR and CCT remain dynamic and subject to ongoing evolution. This highlights the need for refinement of these techniques before their reliable integration into routine patient care can be realized. The primary objectives of this study are twofold: firstly, to provide a comprehensive overview of the studies conducted over the last 15 years, summarizing the current available literature on imaging-based assessment of VT substrate. Secondly, to critically analyze and evaluate the selected studies, with the aim of providing valuable insights that can inform current clinical practice and future research.
