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

Cardiac arrhythmias are commonly treated using radiofrequency ablation, a minimally invasive technique that has become standard practice. Despite its widespread use, the mechanisms of heat transfer through cardiac tissue during ablation and the factors determining lesion geometry remain incompletely understood. This study investigates the thermal behaviour of tissue-mimicking phantoms with and without perfusion channels to quantify the perfusion-mediated cooling effects present in cardiac ablation. A controlled experimental apparatus was engineered to simulate the
