Treatment of left accessory cardiac pathway conduction disorders using radiofrequency catheter ablation under the guidance of the Ensite NavX 3D mapping system: a retrospective study.
Article in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
To investigate the effectiveness and safety of using the Ensite NavX three-dimensional (3D) mapping system during Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of left accessory pathway (AP) disorders. A total of 227 patients having their left AP treated by RFCA, were classified into study group (n = 112) and the control group (n = 115). X-ray irradiation time and exposure doses during the course of the operations were recorded. Time taken to place the mapping catheter along with total duration of operations and procedural complications were compared. The X-ray irradiation time and exposure doses in the course of manipulating the ablation catheters were significantly lower in the study group compared to control (5.1 ± 2.3 min vs. 13.1 ± 3.1 min; P < 0.05 and 5.7 ± 2.6 mGy vs. 17.8 ± 4.3 mGy; P < 0.05, respectively). The total duration of operation was also significantly shorter in the study group compared to control (53.1 ± 18.8 min vs. 62.3 ± 20.6 min; P < 0.05). No procedural complications were reported in both groups. The irradiation time and exposure dose along with total operation duration was significantly reduced when the Ensite NavX mapping system was used during RFCA in comparison with traditional X-ray fluoroscopy method.
