Reduced Left Atrial Appendage Flow Velocity as a Risk of Thromboembolic Events After Catheter Ablation of 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 4 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
Background: Reduced left atrial appendage flow velocity (LAAFV) on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is recognized as a predictor of thromboembolic events (TEs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, its long-term prognostic value following AF ablation remains unclear. Methods and Results: We retrospectively evaluated 1521 patients undergoing AF ablation who underwent preprocedural TEE. Patients were categorized into two groups based on LAAFV: reduced (≤ 21.4 cm/s, Conclusions: Reduced preprocedural LAAFV is associated with adverse long-term clinical outcomes after AF ablation, including a significantly increased risk of thromboembolic events.
