[History of catheter ablation].
Review in Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
After His bundle electrography was established in 1967, the step from invasive electrophysiologic diagnosis of arrhythmias to interventional treatment by catheter ablation was imminent. The time interval of 15 years between the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias was even shorter than the 19 years between the first selective coronary angiography in 1958 at the Cleveland Clinic in the USA and the first percutaneous coronary intervention in 1977 in Zurich. During each time period, a great amount of knowledge was gained in cardiac surgery, which proved to be very helpful for the development of the interventional treatment. The history of endovascular treatment is an impressive reminder that the preparation and support of cardiovascular surgeons and their handling of complications played a decisive role in the further development of cardiovascular internal medicine. The history of catheter ablation teaches us that the joint work of cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons is of great importance for the choice and further development of the best possible treatment as for future development of the techniques of therapy.
