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

This case report describes a 56-year-old male with recurrent symptomatic atrial tachycardia (AT) following prior extensive atrial fibrillation ablation, including posterior wall isolation. Surface ECG suggested a possible pulmonary vein origin, but high-density 3D electroanatomic mapping precisely localized the focus to the left atrial posterior wall. Radiofrequency ablation at the earliest activation site terminated the tachycardia promptly. The patient remained symptom-free during a 3-month follow-up. This case highlights the importance of detailed mapping in localizing rare AT origins after prior ablation, the challenges of ECG interpretation in altered substrates, and the feasibility of safe and effective ablation in the posterior wall region with controlled energy delivery.
