Review in Arrhythmia & electrophysiology review, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07573579 (Dynamic Voltage Mapping to Personalise the Ventricular Tachycardia Substrate), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.

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.

Abstract

During catheter ablation of post-infarct ventricular tachycardia (VT), substrate mapping is used when VT is non-inducible or poorly tolerated. Substrate mapping aims to identify regions of slowly conducting myocardium (borderzone) within and surrounding myocardial scar for ablation. Historically, these tissue types have been identified using bipolar voltage mapping, with areas of low bipolar voltage (<0.50 mV) defined as scar, and areas with voltages between 0.50 mV and 1.50 mV as borderzone. In the era of high-density mapping, studies have demonstrated slow conduction within areas of bipolar voltage <0.50 mV, suggesting that this historical cut-off is outdated. While electrophysiologists often adapt voltage cut-offs to account for this, the optimal scar-borderzone threshold is not known. In this review, we discuss dynamic voltage mapping, a novel substrate mapping technique we have developed, which superimposes data from both activation and voltage maps, to help delineate the post-infarct VT circuit through identification of the optimal scar-borderzone voltage threshold.
