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

introductionPremature ventricular contractions (PVCs) originating from the proximal left anterior fascicle (LAF) are rarely discussed. We aimed to describe the characteristics and ablation outcome of PVCs originating from the proximal LAF and propose a stepwise approach. METHOD AND

resultsFrom 2018 to 2024, 16 patients (nine males) with proximal LAF-PVCs who underwent ablation were enrolled, and their electrophysiological characteristics and procedural details were analyzed. The acute procedural outcomes were complete success, success with residual nonclinical PVCs, and partial success (decrease in clinical PVCs). The electrocardiographs of the PVCs showed a right bundle branch block with an inferior axis. In the initial ablation attempt, targeting the earliest left ventricular (LV) endocardial activation site eliminated clinical PVC in 14 patients. Nonclinical PVC occurred in seven patients. A second attempt from the right coronary cusp (RCC) was made in four patients (three nonclinical and one clinical PVC), which resulted in complete success. One patient (6.3%, partial success) had PVC recurrence. Sites with a successful ablation showed a significantly greater Fascicle-QRS[PVC] interval, Delta Fascicle-QRS[PVC-Sinus] interval, and more reverse fascicle potentials than other sites. Patients who underwent successful supra-RCC ablation had a shorter RCC-LV earliest activation site distance (EAS).

conclusionThis is the first study to investigate the dynamic electrogram property in LAF-PVC ablation. The Fascicle-PVC interval and reverse fascicle are useful for predicting acute ablation success. The RCC approach may be effective in cases with a short RCC-LV EAS distance. Nonclinical PVC morphology could be due to LAF block and might not affect the long-term outcome after careful mapping.
