Significant reduction in procedure duration in remote magnetic-guided catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation using the third-generation magnetic navigation system.
Observational study in Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeThe magnetic navigation system (MNS) has shown to be safe and effective for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, longer procedure duration as compared to manual catheter ablation may limit its widespread use. This study aimed to assess the impact of the newest generation MNS using an optimized mapping and ablation protocol on the efficacy and safety of remote magnetic catheter (RMC)-guided pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).
methodsThis observational study included 52 patients with symptomatic AF who underwent RMC-guided PVI using the second-generation MNS Niobe II (initial 28 patients, group I) or the third-generation MNS Niobe ES in combination with an optimized mapping and ablation protocol (24 patients, group II).
resultsAcute PVI was achieved in 26/28 (93%) patients in group I and 24/24 patients (100%) in group II. Mean procedure time was 263.9 ± 81.9 min in group I and significantly lower in group II (139.7 ± 22.6 min, p < 0.01). Mean fluoroscopy time was 18.8 ± 8.7 min in group I and decreased to 7.9 ± 2.6 in group II (p < 0.01). After a median follow-up of 640.5 days (Q1 460.75; Q3 766.5), 16/24 (67%) patients undergoing RMC-guided PVI in group II remained in stable SR. No periprocedural complications were noted for either group.
conclusionsUse of the third-generation MNS for RMC-guided PVI is safe, effective, and drastically reduced procedure times.
