X-ray fused with MRI guidance of pre-selected transcatheter congenital heart disease interventions.
Article in Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesTo determine whether X-ray fused with MRI (XFM) is beneficial for select transcatheter congenital heart disease interventions.
backgroundComplex transcatheter interventions often require three-dimensional (3D) soft tissue imaging guidance. Fusion imaging with live X-ray fluoroscopy can potentially improve and simplify procedures.
methodsPatients referred for select congenital heart disease interventions were prospectively enrolled. Cardiac MRI data was overlaid on live fluoroscopy for procedural guidance. Likert scale operator assessments of value were recorded. Fluoroscopy time, radiation exposure, contrast dose, and procedure time were compared to matched cases from our institutional experience.
resultsForty-six patients were enrolled. Pre-catheterization, same day cardiac MRI findings indicated intervention should be deferred in nine patients. XFM-guided cardiac catheterization was performed in 37 (median age 8.7 years [0.5-63 years]; median weight 28 kg [5.6-110 kg]) with the following prespecified indications: pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis (n = 13), aortic coarctation (n = 12), conduit stenosis/insufficiency (n = 9), and ventricular septal defect (n = 3). Diagnostic catheterization showed intervention was not indicated in 12 additional cases. XFM-guided intervention was performed in the remaining 25. Fluoroscopy time was shorter for XFM-guided intervention cases compared to matched controls. There was no significant difference in radiation dose area product, contrast volume, or procedure time. Operator Likert scores indicated XFM provided useful soft tissue guidance in all cases and was never misleading.
conclusionsXFM provides operators with meaningful three-dimensional soft tissue data and reduces fluoroscopy time in select congenital heart disease interventions.
