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: Autonomic nervous system (ANS) modification with cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation using conventional cryoballoon (Arctic Front Advance Methods and Results: This subanalysis of the CONTRAST-CRYO trial compared ANS modification in the first ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF; 58 conventional, 47 novel), based on postprocedural sinus cycle length (SCL). The proportions of patients with ≥5/10/15/20% SCL reduction at 12 months were comparable between systems. Patients with ANS modification (≥20% SCL reduction) had lower baseline heart rates; however, AF-free survival did not differ. Conclusions: Both systems produced comparable ANS modification effects.
