Utilization and Complications of Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Observational study in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and bears a major clinical impact in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We aimed to investigate the use and real-world safety of catheter ablation for AF in patients with HCM. Methods and Results We drew data from the US National Inpatient Sample to identify cases of AF ablation in HCM patients between 2003 and 2015. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected, and incidence of catheter ablation complications, mortality, and length of stay were analyzed, including trends between the early (2003-2008) and later (2009-2015) study years. Among a weighted total of 1563 catheter ablation cases in patients with HCM, the median age was 62 (interquartile range, 52-72), 832 (53.2%) were male, and 1150 (73.6%) were white. The average annual volume of AF ablations in patients with HCM doubled between the early and the later study period (79-156). At least 1 complication occurred in 16.1% of cases, and the in-hospital mortality rate was 1%. Cardiac and pericardial complications declined from 8.8% to 2.3% and from 2.8% to 0.9%, respectively, between the early and the later study years (
