A systematic review of the effectiveness of catheter ablation NavX mapping system for treatment of the cardiac arrhythmia.
Review in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03042078 (Multi-center, Controlled Trial to Compare the Feasibility, Safety and Efficacy of Zero-fluoroscopic Approach With Fluoroscopic Approach for the Ablation of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundCatheter ablation is widely used for treatment of atrial fibrillation. The use of fluoroscopic and non-fluoroscopic mapping systems in catheter ablation is common. This study conducted to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Navx non-fluoroscopic mapping system.
methodsIn this study, the appropriate electronic databases including Cochrane Library and Ovid Medline searched until August 2013 using free text and MeSH. Systematic reviews, health technology assessment reports in which systematic review was conducted and controlled trials with the sample size of 100 patients and more were included into the study. RESULTS of included studies were analyzed qualitatively.
resultsSeven papers were included in this study. According to these studies, non-fluoroscopic guidance systems may reduce the exposure to radiation compared to fluoroscopic system. NavX system has minimum exposure time. Non-fluoroscopic guidance systems are safer than fluoroscopic guidance system. NavX system reduces the procedure and fluoroscopy time. There was no significant difference between two systems, NavX and Carto, based on their safety and effectiveness.
conclusionEnsite NavX system is relatively safer and more effective than fluoroscopic guidance systems for treating the cardiac arrhythmia.
