Long-RP Tachycardia in a Professional Cyclist: From Smartwatch to Ablation.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLong RP tachycardias share similar clinical presentations and challenging electrocardiographic features which frequently lead to diagnostic uncertainty. When unrecognized or misdiagnosed, the incessant behavior may lead to tachycardiomyopathy. CASE SUMMARY: A 28-year-old asymptomatic professional cyclist presented after his Apple Watch repeatedly reported sustained elevated resting heart rate. Physical examination, laboratory results, imaging, and echocardiography were normal. Electrocardiogram showed narrow QRS tachycardia with negative P waves in inferior leads. Electrophysiological study excluded accessory pathways, localizing an ectopic atrial substrate at the posteroseptal tricuspid annulus. Radiofrequency ablation successfully eliminated the focal atrial tachycardia, restoring sinus rhythm. The Apple Watch confirmed stable heart rate normalization postprocedure and at follow-up. DISCUSSION: We emphasize the role of wearable devices in early arrhythmia detection and the diagnostic challenges posed by long RP tachycardias. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Smartwatches can fasten arrhythmias detection and management in asymptomatic athletes, and electrophysiological study remains essential for definitive supraventricular arrhythmias diagnosis.
