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

Pulsed field ablation (PFA), a nonthermal ablative mechanism, has been proven to be effective and safe in clinical application. To date, PFA has been used for only atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in limited clinical trials. The present study describes a case of paroxysmal AF in which mitral and cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent atrial flutter was discovered incidentally during PFA operation and successfully ablated with PFA. This is the first medical record of PFA for AF combined with mitral and CTI atrial flutter. The present case report revealed that PFA can be independently used to treat complex arrhythmias, similar to radiofrequency (RF) ablation, without the need for assistance from other ablation methods. Concurrently, the present study, to the best of the authors' knowledge is the first to report a case using a point-to-point PFA ablation strategy for isthmus ablation. This highlights the potential of PFA in treating diverse arrhythmias across different regions, such as the mitral isthmus and other intricate areas, utilizing a point-to-point PFA ablation strategy.
