Influence of substrate modification in catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation on the incidence of acute complications: Analysis of 10 795 procedures in J-CARAF Study 2011-2016.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
background and purposeIn expectation of better outcome of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), several strategies of extra-PV (pulmonary vein) substrate modification have been utilized. We assessed whether substrate modification or ablation of extra-PV source is a predictor of complications.
methodsJapanese Heart Rhythm Society requested electrophysiology centers to register the data of patients who underwent AF ablation.
resultsThe data of 10 795 AF ablation cases (age; 63.8 ± 10.6 years) treated during 2011-2016 were registered. Pericardial effusion (n = 105), massive bleeding (n = 108), stroke (n = 6), atrial-esophageal fistula (n = 2), and other 114 complications occurred in 323 patients (3.0%). Univariate analysis revealed that age ≧ 65 years, female gender, heart failure, CHA2DS2-VASc≧3, hemodialysis, deep sedation, and complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE)-guided ablation ([+] vs [-] = 4.3% vs 2.8%,
conclusionsAmong extra-PV ablation strategies, CFAE-guided ablation is a predictor of ablation-related complications.
