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

backgroundCather ablation of parahisian premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) often requires ablation in multiple cardiac chambers, including the sinuses of Valsalva (SoV). The safety and efficacy of ablation within the right SoV to target parahisian arrhythmias has not been widely reported.

objectiveTo report on the demographic and procedural characteristics of patients undergoing catheter ablation of PVCs who underwent ablation in the right SoV, and to examine the impact of late-gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) on procedural findings.

methodsConsecutive patients undergoing ablation of parahisian PVCs and ablation in the right SoV with preprocedural LGE-CMR were included.

resultsEleven patients were included in the study population (11 males (100%), median age: 68 ± 7 years, median ejection fraction: 53% ± 7%, PVC burden 23% ± 13%). Intramural LGE-CMR scar was present in all patients and involved the basal anteroseptum/outflow tract in nine patients. Ablation within the right SoV eliminated (n = 9) or suppressed (n = 2) PVCs in all patients. The successful SoV site displayed the absolute earliest presystolic activation time or matching pacemaps in only 44% and 55% of patients, respectfully. Transient heart block during right SoV ablation occurred in 1/11(9%) patients. The post procedure PVC burden decreased from 23% ± 13% to 7% ± 6%, procedural success was attained in 10/11(91%) of patients.

conclusionsParahisian PVCs ablated from the right SoV are often intramural, may require ablation in multiple chambers, and colocalize with intramural LGE-CMR scar. Traditional EGM markers of successful ablation sites were less frequently seen at successful site of SoV ablation, long term success was achieved in 91% of patients.
