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

backgroundThe Automated Arrhythmia Origin Localization (AAOL) algorithm was developed for real-time prediction of early ventricular activation origins on a patient-specific electroanatomic (EAM) surface using a 3-lead electrocardiogram (AAOL-Surface). It has not been evaluated in 3-dimensional (3D) space (AAOL-3D), however, which may be important for predicting the arrhythmia origin from intramural or intracavity sites.

objectivesThis study sought to assess the accuracy of AAOL for localizing earliest ventricular activation in 3D space.

methodsThis was a retrospective study of 3 datasets (BWH [Brigham and Women's Hospital], JHH [Johns Hopkins Hospital], and QEII [Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre]) involving 47 patients and 48 procedures, with an average of 19 ± 10 pacing sites each. In each patient, individual pacing sites were identified as target sites; the remaining pacing sites served as a training set (including QRS integrals from leads III, V

resultsThe AAOL-3D achieved a localization accuracy of 7.2 ± 3.1 mm, outperforming the AAOL-Surface (7.2 vs 7.8 mm; P < 0.05), with greater localization error for epicardial than endocardial pacing sites (8.7 vs 7.1 mm; P < 0.05). Cohort-specific analysis consistently favored AAOL-3D over AAOL-Surface in terms of accuracy. Exploration of AAOL-Surface accuracy across varying EAM resolutions showed optimal performance at the original and 75% resolution, with performance declining as resolution decreased.

conclusionsThe AAOL approach accurately identifies early ventricular activation origins in 3D and on EAM surfaces, potentially useful for identifying intramural arrhythmia origins.
