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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder worldwide. As treatment methods evolve, optimizing personalized therapy based on patient characteristics, such as sex, becomes crucial. This study investigates sex differences in high-power short-duration (HPSD) pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in overweight and obese patients. We analyzed data from 189 overweight and obese patients who underwent HPSD PVI for AF, comparing demographic information, procedural details, outcomes, and complications between male and female patients. Our analysis revealed fewer women underwent PVI compared to men, with women typically older and showing more pronounced changes in the left atrial substrate. Despite these differences, the safety and efficacy of PVI were comparable between sexes, including in the BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
