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

Impedance-guided PulseSelect contact mapping (i-Pulse) adapts EnSite X Contact Index for a circular multielectrode PFA catheter, enabling real-time visualization of electrode-tissue contact without fluoroscopy. With ICE guidance, Δimpedance > 5% identified adequate contact, standardized tagging, and guided applications in three atrial fibrillation cases, achieving acute pulmonary vein isolation without complications.
