A Left Atrial Positioning System to Enable Follow-up and Cohort Studies.
Article in IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveWe present a new algorithm to automatically convert 3-dimensional left atrium surface meshes into a standard 2-dimensional space: a Left Atrial Positioning System (LAPS).
methodsForty-five contrast-enhanced 4-dimensional computed tomography datasets were collected from 30 subjects. The left atrium volume was segmented using a trained neural network and converted into a surface mesh. LAPS coordinates were calculated on each mesh by computing lines of longitude and latitude on the surface of the mesh with reference to the center of the posterior wall and the mitral valve. LAPS accuracy was evaluated with one-way transfer of coordinates from a template mesh to a synthetic ground truth, which was created by registering the template mesh and pre-calculated LAPS coordinates to a target mesh. The Euclidian distance error was measured between each test node and its ground truth location.
resultsThe median point transfer error was 2.13 mm between follow-up scans of the same subject (n = 15) and 3.99 mm between different subjects (n = 30). The left atrium was divided into 24 anatomic regions and represented on a 2D square diagram.
conclusionThe Left Atrial Positioning System is fully automatic, accurate, robust to anatomic variation, and has flexible visualization for mapping data in the left atrium. SIGNIFICANCE: This provides a framework for comparing regional LA surface data values in both follow-up and cohort studies.
