Parasympathetic Tone Selectively Modulates Electrogram Fragmentation and Spectral Properties in Right Atrial Ganglionated Plexi.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 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
Background and Aims: EGM fragmentation and spectral analysis have both been proposed to identify ganglionated plexi (GP) regions in the context of cardioneuroablation. However, their correlation has never been fully investigated, and it remains unclear whether these properties are related to structural or functional characteristics. The aim of this study is to evaluate how these features are related and modulated by parasympathetic tone. Methods: The study population included 13 patients (mean age 34 ± 12 years, 69% male) undergoing an electrophysiological study. High-density right atrial mapping was performed using a multielectrode catheter during baseline conditions and after atropine administration. Spectral analysis of each point was obtained by fast Fourier transformation, deriving mean, median, and skewness. Results: Baseline maps showed fragmented EGM areas in the posterior-septal wall, corresponding to right atrial GP distribution. When compared to the remaining atrial myocardium, GP regions showed greater mean and median frequencies and lower skewness ( Conclusions: EGM fragmentation and spectral properties are strongly correlated. Parasympathetic tone modulates both features exclusively in GP areas. The distinct signal pattern of GP regions may be a result of both local cholinergic release and structural cellular discontinuity with potential implications for a more precise targeting in the context of CNA.
