Ablation in Adult Congenital Heart Disease Using a Dual-Energy, Lattice-Tip, Large-Footprint, Map-and-Ablate Catheter.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPatients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) often develop atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Ablation is challenging given complex anatomy and previous surgical repair. Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) offers improved efficacy and safety through myocardial selectivity. Novel catheters combining three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping with both PFA and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) streamline procedures in ACHD patients.
methodsWe present a case series of 5 ACHD patients with symptomatic atrial and/or ventricular arrhythmias who underwent ablation using a dual-energy "map-and-ablate" lattice-tip catheter.
resultsUsing the lattice-tip catheter, pulmonary vein isolation, cavotricuspid isthmus ablation, and ablation of scar-related intra-atrial re-entry with combined RFA and PFA were performed in 2 patients and ablation of re-entrant ventricular arrhythmias in 3 patients. In 2 patients, both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias were ablated in the same procedure.
conclusionsUse of a large-area focal ablation catheter with mapping integration and dual-energy capabilities enables efficient and safe atrial and ventricular arrhythmia ablation in patients with ACHD.
