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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major healthcare burden worldwide. The standard invasive treatment for AF that is resistant to pharmacological intervention is a pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) procedure. Ganglionated plexus (GP) ablation can be used as an adjunctive therapy to PVIs, which together reduce the likelihood of AF recurrence. High-frequency stimulation (HFS) is a technique used to identify ectopy-triggering GP sites. However, to locate GP sites, sequential HFS must be delivered over the whole atria. Therefore, ensuring the safety of HFS delivery is integral to avoid irreversible damage from excessive pacing. We tested the Tau-20 version 2 neural simulator, a prototype of a custom-built novel electrophysiological pacing and recording system (patent reference: ASW100372P.EPP) that has the potential to guide intracardiac AF treatments.
