Novel approach to pulmonary vein isolation ablation
Article in World journal of cardiology, 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
backgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide, hosting numerous serious possible complications such as stroke and heart failure. In the past two decades, managing rhythm control was more successful CASE SUMMARY: A 76-year-old male with an extensive medical history notable for type 2 diabetes and severe peripheral vascular disease requiring vascular bypass surgery is identified to have paroxysmal AF. Given functional decline and worsening arrhythmia burden refractory to oral antiarrhythmics, an initial PVI ablation was attempted but failed as the catheter could not be advanced secondary to bilateral iliac vein occlusions. This necessitated a novel approach and a subsequent PVI ablation
conclusionThe success of this case highlights the feasibility of an IJ approach for PVI when traditional access is impossible.
