A Novel Approach for Localizing Non-Sustained Atrial Arrhythmias: Atrial Pace-Mapping With Automatic Intracardiac Pattern Matching.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionVentricular pace mapping is an established tool to identify the origin of non-inducible arrhythmias by analyzing the paced QRS morphology of the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). Using the same approach for atrial pace mapping (APM) was shown to be suboptimal, as accurate assessment of P wave morphology can be limited. We present a novel approach for APM using an automatic ECG pattern-matching algorithm with intracardiac unipolar signals (aICPM). METHODS AND
resultsForty-five consecutive patients presenting with non-sustained atrial tachycardia (nsAT) or non-pulmonary vein (PV) triggers were prospectively included. APM using aICPM was performed with six biatrial unipolar signals to create score maps. Ablation targeted sites with the best intracardiac pattern similarity. The primary endpoint was defined as successful localization and non-inducibility of the arrhythmia. Secondary endpoint was defined as freedom from AF/AT during the follow-up. APM with aICPM successfully identified specific areas with high intracardiac pattern similarity in all patients. The median time required to create a score map was 5.0 (IQR 3.3; 6.3) minutes, with 106 (IQR 77; 155) points per map. Radiofrequency ablation was performed successfully in all but two patients, with a median ablation time of 134 (IQR 75; 180) seconds and an ablation area of 2.0 (IQR 1.1; 2.3) cm². Two patients underwent ethanol ablation of the vein of Marshall. All cases achieved non-inducibility of the arrhythmia. During a follow-up of 5.9 ± 1.87 months, five patients experienced arrhythmia recurrence.
conclusionThis novel approach rapidly and accurately identifies the origin of atrial arrhythmias by creating atrial pacemaps using an automated ECG pattern-matching algorithm, which processes intracardiac unipolar signals.
