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

Cardiovascular laser application (CVLA) is an innovative approach in the field of cardiology aimed at treating various cardiovascular diseases, including cardiac arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, systemic and pulmonary resistant hypertension, and varicose leg veins, by using a key technology, the laser. Tissue-selective photon absorption of the 1064-nm wavelength induces tissue-selective irreversible lesions of arrhythmogenic myocardium, modulation of retrocardiac ganglion plexi, and renal and pulmonary perivascular innervation. This review summarizes the development and the experimental and clinical results of the CVLA, highlighting its potential advantages over other catheter ablation methods. Based on its unique characteristics, laser treatment has the potential to become an all-pervasive, safe, and effective procedure for the benefit of countless patients.
