Transcatheter Cryoablation Procedures without Fluoroscopy in Pediatric Patients with Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia: A Single-Center Experience.

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
backgroundAtrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is one of the most common supraventricular tachycardia substrates. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the excellent outcomes of cryoablation without fluoroscopy in pediatric patients with AVNRT.
methodsFrom September 2015 to October 2016, a transcatheter cryoablation procedure was performed in 109 patients using the EnSite® system. After electrophysiologic studies, a cryoablation catheter was advanced for the purpose of ablation of the slow pathway. Six to eight lesions were delivered in 240-300 seconds at -70 °C, with special effort being paid to obtain an eyeball formation around the first effective lesion.
resultsThe mean weight and age of the patients were 24.6 ± 5.3 kg (15-68 kg) and 9.8 ± 2.6 years (5-18 years), respectively. The mean procedure time was 109.8 ± 46 minutes, and the acute procedural success rate was excellent (100%). Ablation procedures were performed during induced tachycardia in 67 patients and during sinus rhythm in 42. The mean follow-up period was 13.3 ± 5.8 months (4-17 months). Recurrence was noted in one patient during the follow-up period who received the ablation procedure with a 6-mm tip catheter. No recurrence was noted among the patients treated with an 8-mm cryocatheter. No permanent cryoablation-related complications occurred.
conclusionsCryoablation using an electroanatomic mapping system is safe and effective in pediatric patients with AVNRT, and has the advantage of avoiding ionizing radiation.
