Streamlined concomitant pulse field ablation-based pulmonary vein isolation and left atrial appendage occlusion via a single venous access approach: a case report.

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: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel non-thermal cardiac ablation method utilizing irreversible electroporation which has been introduced especially for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) by pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Interventional left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) in patients with non-valvular AF and high stroke risk who are ineligible for OAC. A concomitant PVI and LAAC might be beneficial for patients. Case summary: In an 82-year-old male patient with symptomatic persistent AF, CHA Discussion: A streamlined concomitant PFA-based PVI and LAAC procedure utilizing FARAPULSE and WATCHMAN FLX devices seems to be feasible and safe. Swelling of the ridge after PVI was observed; however, the sizing measurements have been performed prior PVI, and the LAAC procedure was successful with no evidence for gaps or leakage. A concomitant approach might be a suitable option for selected patients.
