Coronary artery pathophysiology after radiofrequency catheter ablation: review and perspectives.
Review in Heart rhythm, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers.
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
backgroundRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) has proven to be an effective and safe treatment in patients with ventricular and atrial tachyarrhythmias. Among complications arising after RFA, the incidence of coronary artery (CA) injury is exceedingly low. When CA injury does occur, however, it can be clinically devastating. The proximity of CAs to common ablation sites suggests that the relationship between RFA and CA perfusion pathophysiology is important for optimal lesion formation and safe arrhythmia treatments.
objectiveAlthough others have described the presentation and outcomes of patients with CA injury after ablation, a review that consolidates the mechanisms of CA injury after RFA has yet to be presented in the cardiology literature.
methodsWe conducted an extensive literature search of studies published over the past 30 years that relate the biophysics of RFA with CA perfusion pathophysiology and injury.
resultsWe present a review of the dynamic relationship between RFA and CA perfusion. We describe RFA lesion pathology, mechanisms of CA injury from RFA, and factors that influence lesion formation, such as convective cooling and the shadow effect.
conclusionWe summarize methods to mitigate CA injury after RFA and propose new research avenues to optimize lesion formation and safe arrhythmia treatments when tissue is ablated in the vicinity of CAs.
