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

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with catheter ablation (CA) represents an effective therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF). Unfortunately, it is still not exempt from severe complications. The balance of risks and benefits should be assessed, and a patient-tailored approach is desirable. So far, several clinical and cardiac imaging parameters have been evaluated to investigate pre- and post-procedural features that could help clinicians in the selection of patients at high risk of a poor outcome after CA. This clinical and systematic review analyses the potential role of new LA parameters, such as LA reservoir strain, to predict AF recurrence after CA therapy. Notably, LA reservoir strain gains substantial clinical importance in patients with paroxysmal AF and when a low CHADS2-VASc score is retrieved. LA reservoir strain provides data concerning the risk of AF recurrence after PVI and, thus, in the management of long-term medical therapy in this patient's group.
