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
backgroundThis study aims to explore the association between LA and RA remodeling and their influences on ablation efficacy in AF patients.
methodsThe study involved AF patients undergoing their first catheter ablation using CARTO 3 system. After isolating pulmonary veins, three-dimensional electro-anatomical mapping (3D-EAM) of LA and RA was conducted during sinus rhythm. Low voltage area (LVA) was defined as regions with bipolar voltage < 0.5 mv. If LVA constituted ≥ 10% of the total area of the ipsilateral atrium, it was considered an extensive LVA (ELVA).
resultsA total of 271 patients (male 58.3%, median age 63 years) were enrolled. Biatrial 3D-EAM found that the RA had a larger volume and volume index, longer total activation time, and higher maximum voltage than the LA (P < 0.001). The presence of LVAs, especially ELVAs, was more common in LA (LVAs: 47 patients (17.3%) vs. 29 patients (10.7%), P = 0.011; ELVAs: 26 patients (9.6%) vs. 7 patients (2.6%), P < 0.001). The multivariate logistic analysis revealed that older age, female gender, persistent AF, and LA enlargement were independent predictors of LA LVAs, while female gender and AF duration were associated with RA LVAs. Strong associations were found between variables reflecting the LA and the RA remodeling. Multivariate Cox regression indicated that ELVA in the LA was the only independent predictor of post-ablation recurrence.
conclusionsAF patients had different characteristics and intrinsic correlations between LA and RA remodeling. The LVAs, especially the ELVAs, were more prevalent in the LA than in the RA. There were distinctions in related factors and impacts on ablation efficacy between the LA LVAs and the RA LVAs.
