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

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening arrhythmia that may be idiopathic or result from structural heart disease. Cardiac imaging is critical in the diagnostic workup and risk stratification of patients with VT. Data gained from cardiac imaging provides information on likely mechanisms and sites of origin, as well as risk of intervention. Pre-procedural imaging can be used to plan access route(s) and identify patients where post-procedural intensive care may be required. Integration of cardiac imaging into electroanatomical mapping systems during catheter ablation procedures can facilitate the optimal approach, reduce radiation dose, and may improve clinical outcomes. Intraprocedural imaging helps guide catheter position, target substrate, and identify complications early. This review summarises the contemporary imaging modalities used in patients with VT, and their uses both pre-procedurally and intra-procedurally.
