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

backgroundAccurate assessment of the His-ventricular (HV) interval is essential to diagnosing infranodal conduction disease, but the influence of recording site and sex on HV values is not well defined.

objectiveTo evaluate the impact of measurement location and sex on HV interval values using high-density (HD) mapping catheters in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.

methodsWe prospectively studied patients in sinus rhythm undergoing AF ablation. HV intervals were measured with a decapolar catheter and a HD mapping catheter at the end of the procedure. HD-based HV intervals were classified as proximal (HV

resultsA total of 67 patients (mean age 64 ± 10 years, 33%women) were evaluated. The clinical HV interval was 45 ± 9 ms and shorter in women (40 ms vs. 47 ms, p < 0.001). HV

conclusionHV interval measurements vary significantly by recording site and sex. Proximal measurements reveal longer HV intervals and detect more conduction delays, while women have systematically shorter HV intervals. Anatomical precision and sex-specific interpretation are important for accurate diagnosis of infranodal conduction delay.
