Utility of Post-Procedural HFA-PEFF Reassessment for Long-Term Heart Failure Risk Stratification After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2026. 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
Background: The utility of post-procedural HFA-PEFF reassessment for long-term heart failure (HF) risk stratification after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation remains uncertain. Methods: In this single-center retrospective cohort study, we evaluated pre-procedural and post-procedural HFA-PEFF scores in 856 patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (≥ 50%) undergoing index AF ablation. HF hospitalization from 1 year after ablation was compared across risk strata (low, 0-1; intermediate, 2-4; high, 5-6 points) for both scores. Discrimination was assessed using time-dependent receiver operating characteristic analysis at 2-5 years. Results: Post-procedural HFA-PEFF was assessed at a median of 91 (interquartile range, 87-97) days after ablation, and 92.8% of reassessments were obtained during sinus rhythm or atrial pacing. The HFA-PEFF score decreased significantly from 3 (2-4) to 2 (1-4) ( Conclusions: In patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction undergoing AF ablation, post-procedural HFA-PEFF reassessment may add value for long-term HF hospitalization risk stratification, particularly in those with high baseline HFA-PEFF scores.
