    In a small number of patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, ECG imaging could localize ventricular insertion sites of accessory pathways to guide ablation and evaluate its outcome in pediatric patients.

    “In a small (n = 14) number of patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (W-P-W) Syndrome, ECG imaging, a novel modality for noninvasive electroanatomic mapping of epicardial activation and repolarization, 25 could localize ventricular insertion sites of accessory pathways to guide ablation and evaluate its outcome in pediatric patients with W-P-W.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-11.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-11.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
