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

Electroanatomic mapping guides complex atrial tachycardia ablations; however, challenges may emerge after pulmonary vein isolation. 3D mapping systems can reveal the mechanism of tachycardia and critical areas that need to be ablated. Sometimes, however, these areas may be located deep inside, to the extent that they cannot be successfully reached by endocardial ablation. In this study, we present a unique case of a patient in whom vein of Marshall (VOM) ethanol ablation, a conventional secondary intervention, promptly terminated a Marshall bundle-related atrial tachycardia without further endocardial radiofrequency application, suggesting VOM ethanol ablation as a potential primary strategy.
