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

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has been in the spotlight as an alternative to conventional thermal energy ablation given its unique tissue selectivity. The concept of current-day PFA is based on traditional direct electric current catheter ablation, creating nanopores in the cell membrane and resulting in cell death. Membrane pores that are created via electroporation can be either permanent, if the electric field is high enough, or only temporary if the fields are sub-threshold. We report a transient block of the accessory pathway after internal electrical cardioversion via a multipolar catheter placed along the tricuspid annulus. Learning objective: We report a rare case that exhibited a transient accessory pathway conduction block after internal electrical cardioversion via a multipolar catheter placed along the tricuspid annulus. Transient conduction block may be observed by internal electrical cardioversion due to reversible electroporation.
