Multilayer fabrication of durable catheter-deployable soft robotic sensor arrays for efficient left atrial mapping.
Article in Science advances, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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.
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
Devices that perform cardiac mapping and ablation to treat atrial fibrillation provide an effective means of treatment. Current devices, however, have limitations that either require tedious point-by-point mapping of a cardiac chamber or have limited ability to conform to the complex anatomy of a patient's cardiac chamber. In this work, a detailed, scalable, and manufacturable technique is reported for fabrication of a multielectrode, soft robotic sensor array. These devices exhibit high conformability (~85 to 90%) and are equipped with an array of stretchable electronic sensors for voltage mapping. The form factor of the device is intended to match that of the entire left atrium and has a hydraulically actuated soft robotic structure whose profile facilitates deployment from a 13.5-Fr catheter. We anticipate that the methods described in this paper will serve a new generation of conformable medical devices that leverage the unique characteristics of stretchable electronics and soft robotics.
