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

Catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias originating from papillary muscles (PMs) is challenging due to complex anatomical structures, dynamic motion, and potential deep intramural origin. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has emerged as an essential tool for guiding catheter ablation. We report a case of premature ventricular complexes arising from the anterolateral PM of the left ventricle, successfully ablated under intraprocedural ICE guidance. This case underscores the key role of ICE in overcoming the anatomical challenges of PM ablation and ensuring procedural precision and safety.
