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

Phrenic nerve injury, though rare, can be a serious complication of catheter ablation leading to significant morbidity. The close proximity of the phrenic nerve to the site of origin of arrhythmias may also impact the success of catheter ablation. When the phrenic nerve is near the optimal site of ablation, several techniques have been proposed to create separation between the nerve and the epicardium, including the introduction of fluid, gas, and balloons. In this article, we present a step-by-step approach to phrenic nerve displacement to facilitate ablation, including a review of phrenic nerve anatomy, localization techniques, procedural strategies, and necessary equipment.
