1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This review provides insights into mapping and ablation strategies for VT, offering a comprehensive overview of contemporary approaches and future perspectives in the field. The strengths and limitations of classical mapping strategies, namely activation mapping, pace mapping, entrainment mapping, and substrate mapping, are deeply discussed. The increasing pivotal relevance of CMR and MDCT in substrate definition is highlighted, particularly in defining the border zone, tissue channels, and fat. The integration of CMR and MDCT images with EAM is explored, with a special focus on their role in enhancing effectiveness and procedure safety. The abstract concludes by illustrating the Pisa workflow for the VT ablation procedure.
