Outcomes Of Cryoballoon Ablation Of Atrial Fibrillation: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Journal of atrial fibrillation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 last decade, cryoballoon ablation has emerged as an effective alternate strategy to point-by-point radiofrequency ablation for treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation. There are several reasons for this. First, the acute and long-term safety and efficacy associated with cryoablation appear comparable to that of radiofrequency ablation in patients with both paroxysmal and also persistent atrial fibrillation. Second, cryoablation offers certain advantages over conventional radiofrequency ablation including a gentler learning curve, shorter ablation and procedure times as well as lack of need for costly electroanatomical mapping technologies commonly utilized with radiofrequency ablation. Lastly, with the recent advent of the second-generation cryoballoon, the effectiveness of cryoablation has further improved dramatically. This comprehensive review examines the gradual evolution of the cryoablation tools as well as the rationale and data in support of the currently-available cryoballoon technologies for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
