Mahaim Tachycardia Mimicking Ventricular Tachycardia.
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
backgroundAtypical accessory pathways can closely mimic the electrocardiographic features of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia from the tricuspid annulus. CASE SUMMARY: A 39-year-old man with a history of previous unsuccessful radiofrequency ablation for a presumed diagnosis of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia presented with symptomatic wide QRS complex tachycardia. A subsequent redo procedure using high-density mapping revealed the true arrhythmia mechanism to be an atypical Mahaim pathway with no discernible atrial insertion. DISCUSSION: The misdiagnosis of wide QRS complex tachycardia often results in failed ablation attempts. High-density mapping plays a pivotal role in redefining the arrhythmia substrate, uncovering the true mechanism, and guiding effective ablation; it should be recommended, especially in redo procedures. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: The origin of some atypical Mahaim pathways can be distinctly subvalvular, rather than purely annular. High-density mapping is essential for a comprehensive evaluation of the subvalvular apparatus. Identification of a broad earliest activation site at specific anatomical locations should prompt a more rigorous investigation into the underlying electrophysiologic mechanism.
