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
Background: The electrical conduction properties of the left atrium (LA) in patients with perimitral atrial tachycardia (PMAT) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) are not completely understood. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the segmental conduction velocity (CV) in the LA using multisite pacing in patients with PMAT. Methods: After PVI in 179 patients, LA anterograde and retrograde propagation maps were created via pacing at different sites. Segmental CVs were measured in 7 distinct segments of the LA in both maps. Burst pacing was performed to induce atrial tachyarrhythmias. Results: Twelve PMATs (7 clockwise rotation, 5 counterclockwise rotation) were induced in 11 patients (PMAT group), whereas no atrial tachyarrhythmias were induced in 56 (no induction group). Comparing the segmental CVs between the PMAT and no induction groups, we observed significant reductions in the PMAT group CVs, not only in the anterior and septal regions but also in the roof and bottom regions. Direction-dependent conduction delays were also observed in regions without or with small low-voltage areas, especially in the LA septum, lateral, and bottom. In the PMAT group, the very slow conduction area during PMAT consistently matched the region of the most reduced CV during either anterograde or retrograde propagation. Additionally, the direction of greater conduction delays in the anterior LA identified during pacing studies matched the direction of the PMAT rotation in 9 of 11 patients. Conclusion: Patients with PMAT showed distinct segmental CVs in the LA, which may influence the tachycardia circuit formation and rotational direction.
