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

Electrosurgery refers to the use of high-frequency alternating current in continuous mode to cut tissues by generating heat through vaporization of water molecules to hydrogen and hydroxide ions. This aids in transcatheter procedures to open atretic valves or atretic vessels, recanalize occluded blood vessels and conduits, and create new communication between adjacent cardiac chambers that have wide application in different structural and congenital heart diseases. This review aims to provide information on the physics behind electrosurgery, terminology used, and different clinical applications and finally details the practical techniques to be followed in the catheterization laboratory using the commonly available gadgets and catheters.
