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: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has long been used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is now increasingly adopted due to its great precision and improved safety profile. This report presents a rare case of PFA performed for persistent AF and atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT), along with LAAC, under non-intubated general anesthesia. Case Description: A 36-year-old male patient presented with a 10-year history of recurrent chest tightness and palpitations, which had worsened during the week prior to admission. He was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and AF 4 months ago and had a previous cerebral infarction, with a CHA Conclusions: AVRT is a type of supraventricular tachycardia caused by the presence of an accessory pathway due to congenital structural abnormalities. Our case reports an AVRT occurrence during PFA for AF and provides significant evidence that PFA is effective and safe for accessory pathway ablation during AF ablation.
