During ablation for atrial fibrillation, is simultaneous renal artery ablation appropriate?
Review in Journal of human hypertension, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Over the past few decades, the mainstay of hypertension management has been pharmacological therapy; however, there is now a growing body of evidence that drug-resistant hypertension can be managed effectively by renal artery ablation. Several studies have documented the feasibility and safety of this treatment, although data regarding long-term outcomes are still emerging. Atrial fibrillation (AF) and hypertension commonly coexist, and recent work has demonstrated improved outcomes from catheter ablation of AF with concomitant renal artery denervation at little extra cost in terms of time and resource. The aim of this review is to explore the link between hypertension and AF, the synergistic effect of renal artery ablation on AF ablation, explain how this may work and address unanswered questions.
