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

Background: Endocardial ablation of atrial arrhythmias may occasionally produce insufficient lesion depth. Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) may generate measurable electroporation effects beyond interposed non-cardiac tissues, but field propagation across such tissues remains poorly understood. Methods: We introduced an Results: Across 60 lesions, two-way ANOVA showed significant effects of barrier tissue and number of applications on all primary endpoints (all Conclusion: Our findings show that measurable electroporation effects can be produced in a hybrid potato model beyond
