Electroanatomic mapping-guided pediatric catheter ablation with limited/zero fluoroscopy.
Article in Anatolian journal of cardiology, 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
objectiveThe use of fluoroscopy in pediatric catheter ablation has decreased because of mapping systems. In this study, we present the efficiency and reliability of the electroanatomic mapping system in nonfluoroscopic pediatric catheter ablation.
methodsThe medical records of patients aged <18 years who underwent ablation between November 2016 and April 2018 were evaluated. Fluoroscopy was not used in cases involving ablation of right sided-arrhythmia foci. Fluoroscopy was used only for trans-septal puncture or retroaortic approach/coronary angiography.
resultsA total of 76 patients underwent catheter ablation for 78 supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmia substrates under the guidance of EnSite Velocity system. Fluoroscopy was used in only 14 (18.4%) of these substrates. The mean fluoroscopy duration in these 14 procedures was 5.4±3.15 min. No complications were noted, except a temporary right bundle branch block in one patient and pericardial effusion in another following cryoablation. The acute success rate in achieving complete elimination of arrhythmia substrates was 97.4% (76/78). The recurrence rate was 5.1% (4/78) at follow-up.
conclusionFluoroscopy can be completely eliminated in most pediatric catheter ablation procedures with the use of mapping systems by achieving high acute success rates and acceptable low complication rates.
