Improvement in non-tachycardia-induced cardiac failure after radiofrequency catheter ablation in a child with a right-sided accessory pathway.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
A 6-year-old boy was referred for an evaluation of intolerance to physical activity at his elementary school. The patient had no episodes of palpitations. He was diagnosed as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with a right-sided accessory pathway (AP) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Ventricular dyskinesis was detected mostly in the ventricular septum. Because the asynchronous septal motion caused by pre-excitation through a right-sided AP might deteriorate his cardiac function, he underwent an AP ablation, after which the asynchronous ventricular wall motion disappeared and the wall thickness improved. We suggest that an AP ablation may be the treatment of first priority in patients who have DCM-like dyskinesis even without sustained tachyarrhythmias.
