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

Background: Treatment of recurring atrial flutter can be challenging due to anatomical obstacles preventing complete conduction block of linear ablation lesions. Epicardial or bipolar ablation can be used as an alternative to create deeper ablation lesions but is still limitedly used in patients with atrial flutter. Case summary: We describe a case of a 54-year-old patient with recurring peri-mitral flutter treated with ablation of an anteroseptal line using bipolar ablation to achieve a complete conduction block. Discussion: As conventional ablation cannot always achieve, complete conduction block in linear ablation lesions alternatives may be used to create deeper lesions. In this, case bipolar ablation was used successfully for an anteroseptal line in a patient with recurring peri-mitral flutter.
