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

objectiveThe potential risk of inducing ventricular arrhythmias was explored by employing pulsed field ablation (PFA) through the administration of both monophasic and biphasic waveform deliveries.

methodsPFA was applied to specific locations in the right ventricle (RV, n = 5 sites) in swine (n = 2), utilizing identical settings with consistent amplitude, pulse width, and a number of pulses for both monophasic and biphasic waveforms. PFA deliveries were precisely timed in 10-ms intervals across the entire T wave.

resultsUsing monophasic waveforms, ventricular fibrillation (VF) was induced 7/7 times when PFA pulses were delivered during the T wave. Biphasic waveforms resulted in no ventricular arrhythmias when PFA was delivered across the entire duration of T wave.

conclusionsOur findings indicate that VF can be consistently induced with monophasic pulse waveforms, but not with biphasic pulse waveforms in a porcine model.
