Wall Thickness-Guided vs. Voltage-Guided Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: The efficacy and safety of tailored pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) guided by either left atrial wall thickness (LAWT) or bipolar voltage remain unclear. Objective: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of each ablation strategy. Methods: We conducted a prospective analysis of 97 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who underwent an initial RF catheter ablation procedure known as an extensive encircling PVI. Fifty patients underwent PVI using a wall thickness (WT)-guided approach using ADAS 3D software and 47 patients using a voltage-guided approach. In each strategy, high-power short-duration (HPSD) ablation was applied to regions with increased LAWT or elevated bipolar voltage, respectively, while very high-power short-duration (vHPSD) ablation was delivered to the remaining regions. Results: The first-pass PVI rate tended to be higher in the WT-guided group compared to the Voltage-guided group (43 [86%] vs. 34 [72%], Conclusions: WT-guided ablation was associated with a significantly lower incidence of PV gaps than a conventional bipolar voltage-guided strategy.
