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

backgroundSupraventricular tachycardia is common in patients with adult congenital heart disease and carries a high morbidity. Ablation of these arrhythmias is an effective treatment strategy, but difficulty accessing the cardiac chambers, variations in electroanatomical circuits, and concerns of damaging the surrounding structures can pose procedural challenges. CASE SUMMARY: A 45-year-old man with complex congenital heart disease and intra-atrial re-entrant tachycardia initially underwent ablation with radiofrequency energy but experienced clinical recurrence. He presented for a second procedure using pulsed-field ablation (PFA), which was successful. DISCUSSION: PFA is emerging as a safe and effective energy delivery system for ablation of different cardiac arrhythmias. It may be effective in adult congenital heart disease patients with atrial fibrillation. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: PFA is safe and effective for treatment of supraventricular tachycardia in the adult congenital heart disease population.
