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

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is gaining ground in guiding electrophysiology (EP)-based ablation procedures of typical atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation, allowing for the avoidance of radiation exposure for patients and operators and reducing the risk of occupational illnesses. CMR allows comprehensive assessment of cardiac anatomy and provides tissue characterization by identifying pathological substrates, such as myocardial scars and edema, identified with the implementation of late gadolinium enhancement and T2-weighted short-tau inversion recovery sequences. Intraprocedural imaging is useful for real-time catheter tracking during the ablation procedure while simultaneously providing visualization of cardiac anatomy. Additionally, CMR facilitates the evaluation of the ablation procedure accuracy by acquiring edema-sensitive sequences, thereby aiding in preventing early complications. This report serves as a primer for radiologists and illustrates the value of CMR in planning and performing the ablation procedure, as well as its role in post-procedural imaging.
