Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation to reduce stroke risk.
Synthesis in Herz, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Stroke is the most devastating complication of atrial fibrillation (AF), and the latter increases the risk of stroke by almost fivefold. AF elimination by catheter ablation should lower the risk of thromboembolic complications. Several studies support this hypothesis, demonstrating rates of stroke in AF patients similar to non-AF populations after successful catheter ablation. Widespread discontinuation of oral anticoagulation after catheter ablation is currently not supported by scientific data but it may be a viable option for patients with a CHA2DS2VASc score of less than 2 and a well-documented stable sinus rhythm.
