The Biophysics of Radiofrequency Ablation and Factors Affecting Lesion Size.
Review in Arrhythmia & electrophysiology review, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Radiofrequency ablation is the mainstay of interventional electrophysiology. The biophysics of radiofrequency ablation involve converting electrical energy into heat to irreversibly damage an area of myocardium. To create an ablation lesion, a temperature of >50°C must be generated in the tissue for 60 seconds. This is influenced by factors affecting either the current delivered, electrode impedance, ablation duration or the thermoconductive properties of the tissue. These factors can be altered to affect ablation lesion size to optimise arrhythmia treatment.
