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

Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGi) is an innovative noninvasive mapping technique. Indeed, ECGi enables the identification of the earliest points of cardiac activation in both atrial and ventricular focal arrhythmias, as well as rotors and high-frequency domains that could act as potential drivers of atrial fibrillation. Currently, ECGi is most widely used in the management of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Meanwhile, in cases of macro-reentrant arrhythmias, ECGi assists in outlining the re-entry circuit and identifying the myocardial exit site. Additionally, current research is focusing on detecting myocardial scars and critical isthmuses. This information is particularly valuable for planning stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation procedures for VT in patients where invasive electroanatomic maps are unavailable, and a fully noninvasive approach is preferred. The present review aims to examine commercially available options for noninvasive ECG mapping (Amycard, CardioInsight, VIVO, Acorys, and vMAP), highlighting key features and limitations.
