Charge density mapping demonstrates superiority in catheter ablation of post-surgical atrial tachycardias.

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
Introduction: Atrial tachycardia (AT) frequently occurs after cardiac surgery or surgical ablation procedures. The novel charge density-based mapping system (CDM) provides global chamber mapping and can detect crucial pathways of conduction; therefore, it has potential added value in catheter ablation (CA) of post-surgical ATs. We aimed to test the hypothesis that CDM-guided CA procedures are safe, feasible, and may improve outcome compared to conventional sequential 3D mapping (CARTO)-based CA. Methods and results: Consecutive patients undergoing CA for post-surgical AT guided by CDM or CARTO were enrolled. Procedural safety and efficiency were analyzed. Acute success, one-year outcome was assessed. A total of 35 patients (mean age 60.8 ± 10.6 years, 42.9% female) underwent CA of AT using CDM ( Conclusions: The CDM system is feasible. Our data suggest that patients treated with CDM-guided CA developed fewer AT recurrences as compared to CARTO-guided procedures.
