Critical Isthmus Identification in Macro-Re-Entrant Atrial Tachycardia With Epicardial Conduction by Peak Frequency Mapping.

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
Macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia (AT) can involve complex conduction pathways, including rare transient epicardial detours that complicate identification of the critical isthmus. We analyzed 5 patients with macro-re-entrant AT in whom activation transiently propagated from the endocardium to the epicardium and then returned to the endocardium. Peak frequency mapping using omnipolar technology was performed in conjunction with local activation and voltage mapping. A transient epicardial pathway was suggested when endocardial activation disappeared and subsequently reappeared along the re-entrant circuit. The entrance site, defined as the point where signals disappeared into the epicardial pathway, consistently demonstrated the highest peak frequency and the lowest voltage among all mapped regions. Radiofrequency ablation targeting this entrance site successfully terminated AT in all patients. These observations suggest that omnipolar peak frequency and voltage mapping may facilitate precise identification of the critical isthmus in macro-re-entrant AT involving transient epicardial conduction.
