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

Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a catheter-based ultrasound probe that is used in the cardiac electrophysiology laboratory for real-time assessment of cardiac structures during electrophysiological studies. ICE requires additional vascular access, but provides real-time intracardiac analysis of cardiac structures. The imaging sector of ICE creates a fan from the side of the catheter tip that is perpendicular along the long axis of the ICE catheter, different from standard echocardiographic images. The near-field image shows structures proximal along the long axis of the catheter, whereas the far-field image shows structures distal along the long axis. The home view for ICE imaging has the catheter within the right atrium facing the tricuspid valve in the neutral position, with additional views obtained with clockwise rotation of the catheter. Careful attention is required when advancing the catheter in the body and interpreting the ICE images.
