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

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) represents a paradigm shift in the catheter-based treatment of AF, offering myocardial-selective ablation through the non-thermal mechanism of irreversible electroporation. Despite promising early outcomes, the durability of PFA lesions, particularly over mid-and long-term follow-up, remains a critical area of investigation. This review incorporates preclinical and clinical data on PFA lesion durability, explores biophysical underpinnings, evaluates procedural variables influencing outcomes, and identifies ongoing challenges and future research priorities.
