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

This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and clinical outcomes of catheter ablation performed with cryoballoon (CRYO) in comparison with robotic magnetic navigation (RMN) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF). A total of 200 patients with symptomatic PersAF were prospectively enrolled and non-randomly assigned (1:1) to the CRYO or RMN guided-ablation group undergoing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and additional linear ablation if necessary and then followed up over 5 years. The primary endpoint was freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs) recurrence following a 3-month blanking period after the initial procedure. The secondary endpoints consisted of all-cause and cardiovascular rehospitalizations, rates of electrical cardioversion (EC) and re-do ablation, new-onset neurological event, major bleeding event and the difference in CHA
