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
backgroundThe effectiveness of a novel diamond tip temperature-controlled ablation (DTA) catheter for left atrial posterior wall isolation (LAPWI) remains unclear.
objectiveThis study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the DTA catheter for LAPWI under electrogram (EGM) guidance.
methodsThis single-center observational study compared the first-pass LAPWI success rate among three groups: DTA with EGM guidance (n = 82), conventional irrigation catheter with EGM guidance (Irri with EGM guidance; n = 92), and Irri without EGM guidance (n = 93), using fixed energy parameters (30 W, 15-20 s).
resultsDTA with EGM guidance had a significantly higher incidence of first-pass LAPWI success (93%, 76/82) than that of Irri without EGM guidance (54%; 50/93) (p < 0.001) and had a success rate comparable to that of the Irri with EGM guidance (97%; 89/92). Post hoc Bonferroni analysis demonstrated that the DTA with EGM guidance group had a significantly shorter radiofrequency-energy delivery duration (158 ± 63 s) than that of the Irri with EGM guidance group (229 ± 131 s; p < 0.0001) and the Irri without EGM guidance group (243 ± 185 s; p < 0.001). The DTA with EGM guidance group had a higher average RF power (45.1 ± 5.6 W) than the Irri with (31.2 ± 2.2 W; p < 0.0001) and without EGM guidance groups (28.0 ± 8.9 W; p < 0.001). No significant complications were observed.
conclusionsThe novel DTA catheter with EGM guidance achieved a high first-pass LAPWI success rate. The novel DTA catheter with short energy delivery and high average radiofrequency (RF) energy delivery under EGM guidance can be effectively applied in LAPWI.
