15-Year ECG Evolution of Interatrial Block and Effects of Atrial Septal Pacing.

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
backgroundInteratrial block (IAB) reflects atrial remodeling and an arrhythmogenic substrate; however, its long-term progression is poorly characterized. CASE SUMMARY: An 87-year-old woman with recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias and sinus node dysfunction demonstrated progressive P-wave prolongation from 120 to 160 ms over a 15-year period, evolving from partial to atypical advanced IAB with a triphasic morphology. Intracardiac mapping revealed extensive biatrial scarring and markedly delayed interatrial conduction. High right atrial septal pacing shortened the P-wave duration to 126 ms and was followed by sustained freedom from atrial arrhythmias. DISCUSSION: This case provides to our knowledge the first documentation of long-term electrocardiographic progression from partial to atypical advanced IAB, offering insights into the natural history and underlying mechanisms of IAB. High atrial septal pacing improved interatrial conduction and may suppress atrial arrhythmias even in the setting of advanced atrial remodeling, highlighting the clinical importance of recognizing atypical IAB patterns. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Long-term electrocardiographic follow-up captured the progression of IAB in a single patient. High atrial septal pacing optimized interatrial conduction and helped maintain sinus rhythm in a markedly remodeled atrium.
