1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In catheter ablation for outflow tract premature ventricular contraction (PVC), electrical mapping of the aortic sinus cusp (ASC) provides critical information for identifying the origin of the PVC. The OCTARAY™ (Biosense Webster, Diamond Bar, CA, USA), a multispline 48-polar electrode catheter with TRUEref™ technology, fits the shape of the ASC and enables detailed and prompt high-resolution ASC mapping without inducing PVCs due to mechanical stimulation. We present a case of successful catheter ablation for two similar PVCs from the ASC based on activation and voltage mapping using TRUEref™ technology. High-resolution mapping could be helpful for the visual assessment of the detailed wavefront propagations of PVC. Learning objective: In catheter ablation for outflow tract premature ventricular contraction (PVC), mapping the aortic sinus cusp is useful to identify the origin; however, it is sometimes challenging with a conventional electrode catheter. High-resolution mapping using OCTARAY™ might be helpful for detailed assessment of outflow tract PVC.
