Pulsed-Field Ablation of Confluent Inferior Pulmonary Vein With Narrowing and a Low-Voltage Area: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Confluent inferior pulmonary vein (CIPV) often has narrow ostia and low-voltage areas in the common trunk. We treated a man in his 60s with atrial fibrillation. Cardiac computed tomography revealed a CIPV with a 5 mm narrow left inferior pulmonary vein (PV) ostium. Electroanatomical mapping showed low-voltage areas in the common trunk. Using guidewire-assisted PulseSelect™ pulsed-field ablation (PFA), we performed PV isolation and left atrial posterior wall isolation. CIPV often manifests as narrow left inferior PV ostia, thin posterior walls, and low-voltage or scar areas in the common trunk. PFA, particularly with the PulseSelect™ system, is well-suited to minimizing PV stenosis and the risk of esophageal injury.
