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

backgroundPatients with congenital heart disease often become vulnerable to arrhythmia. Catheter ablation can be appropriate management. However, various anatomic and technical difficulties could be faced. CASE SUMMARY: An 8-year-old girl with a history of repaired tetralogy of Fallot and stent insertion at the main pulmonary artery presented with palpitation and dyspnea. A high premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) burden refractory to medications promoted catheter ablation performed through the main pulmonary artery stent. DISCUSSION: We report the first documented case of successful radiofrequency PVC ablation through a stent. Many challenges needed to be managed, like altered anatomy, presence of the stent, and previous surgical repair, which led to difficult catheter contact and navigation, electrical interference, and shunting of ablation energy. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: This case highlights the feasibility of catheter ablation through a stent. Detecting the appropriate PVC origin guided by meticulous mapping, fluoroscopy, impedance, and temperature promotes safety and efficacy.
