Overcoming the Challenges of Transmural Durable Lesions With PFA-Impact of Electrode Design and Contact Assessment.
Review in Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, 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
Electrode design and reliable contact assessment are critical for creating durable pulsed field ablation (PFA) lesions to treat atrial fibrillation while minimizing collateral damage. This review introduces a novel "map-and-ablate" PFA catheter featuring flat electrodes, thermal contact assessment, and fully customizable electrode selection. We explore how electrode design impacts energy delivery and electric field direction, the importance of reliable contact assessment in ensuring lesion durability, and how customized electrode selection may minimize collateral damage.
