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

The utilization of the one-stop strategy for treating atrial fibrillation (AF) has been on the rise, but the combination of vein of Marshall catheter ablation with left atrial appendage occlusion has been rarely reported. In this case, a 62-year-old man with persistent AF underwent a one-stop strategy that included ethanol infusion in the vein of Marshall, radiofrequency catheter ablation, and left atrial appendage occlusion. The procedures successfully achieved ablation in the vein of Marshall, pulmonary vein isolation, and left atrial appendage occlusion. The feasibility and safety of this comprehensive strategy were evaluated during a 12-month follow-up. The dynamic ECG indicated the presence of sinus rhythm, and a cerebral CT scan confirmed the absence of silent ischemia. This case highlights a novel approach to treating atrial fibrillation and demonstrates promising outcomes for patients undergoing this combined procedure.
