Gradual Temperature Rise in Radiofrequency Ablation: Enhancing Lesion Quality and Safety in Porcine Myocardial Tissue.

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.
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
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a pivotal therapeutic technique for various medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease and oncological conditions such as liver and lung cancer. The energy-controlled mode in RFA procedures allows for uniform energy delivery but is less safe compared to the temperature-controlled mode. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a protocol that ensures safety while efficiently delivering energy in the temperature-controlled mode. In this study, we compared lesion formation using the gradual-temperature-rise mode to the fixed-temperature mode. We evaluated the lesion size, energy, cumulative time efficiency, and procedural safety in both in vitro and in vivo experiments with porcine myocardial tissue. Three experimental groups (n = 6) were compared to assess the effect of gradual-temperature-rise and fixed-temperature ablation modes. Five experimental groups (n = 6) were used to determine the optimal temperature turn-up time. The gradual-temperature-rise mode ablated larger lesions (10.48 ± 0.56 mm) compared to the 75 °C (7.67 ± 0.37 mm) and 85 °C (8.05 ± 0.36 mm) fixed-temperature groups (
