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
A 26-year-old woman at 34 weeks' gestation presented with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation. Her electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sinus rhythm with a short P-R interval and an unusually fractionated delta wave. The delta wave was positive in leads I and V2-V6, isoelectric in V1, and negative in inferior leads. An electrophysiology study revealed antegrade accessory pathway conduction with the earliest ventricular activation in the posteroseptal region. Three radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedures, including attempts with pulsed field ablation, were ultimately unsuccessful. Cardiac computed tomography angiography revealed a diverticulum of the middle cardiac vein (MCV). Irrigated RF ablation within the diverticulum successfully eliminated the accessory pathway conduction. We propose that multiple fibers of the coronary sinus or the MCV muscular coat may interface via the diverticulum with the ventricle, leading to multiple wavefronts of ventricular pre-excitation, and that the resultant delta-wave fractionation may allow identification of such an epicardial accessory pathway.
