Predictors of Acute Failure Ablation of Intra-atrial Re-entrant Tachycardia in Patients With Congenital Heart Disease: Cardiac Disease, Atypical Flutter, and Previous Atrial Fibrillation.
Observational study in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundIntra-atrial re-entrant tachycardia (IART) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) increases morbidity and mortality. Radiofrequency catheter ablation has evolved as the first-line treatment. The aim of this study was to analyze the acute success and to identify predictors of failed IART radiofrequency catheter ablation in CHD. METHODS AND
resultsThe observational study included all consecutive patients with CHD who underwent a first ablation procedure for IART at a single center from January 2009 to December 2015 (94 patients, 39.4% female, age: 36.55±14.9 years). In the first procedure, 114 IART were ablated (acute success: 74.6%; 1.21±0.41 IART per patient) with an acute success of 74.5%. Cavotricuspid isthmus-related IART was the only arrhythmia in 51%; non-cavotricuspid isthmus-related IART was the only mechanism in 27.7% and 21.3% of the patients had both types of IART. Predictors of acute radiofrequency catheter ablation failure were as follows: nonrelated cavotricuspid isthmus IART (odds ratio 7.3; confidence interval [CI], 1.9-17.9;
conclusionsAlthough ablation in CHD is a challenging procedure, acute success of 75% can be achieved in moderate-highly complex CHD patients in a referral center. Predictors of failed ablation are IART different from cavotricuspid isthmus, previous atrial fibrillation, and markers of complex CHD (transposition of great arteries, systemic ventricle dilation).
