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

introductionCoronary vasospasm is a recognized complication of pulsed-field ablation (PFA), but delayed events are rarely described. METHODS AND

resultsA 64-year-old man underwent atrial fibrillation ablation using a focal monopolar PFA catheter. He developed transient chest discomfort 18 h after ablation, followed by sustained chest tightness with ST-segment depression 42 h post-procedure. Symptoms and electrocardiographic changes resolved promptly with sublingual nitroglycerin, suggesting coronary vasospasm.

conclusionCoronary vasospasm after focal monopolar PFA may occur beyond the immediate post-procedural period, which may have implications for monitoring and discharge planning.
