Is Atrial Fibrillation Noninducibility by Burst Pacing After Catheter Ablation Associated With Reduced Clinical Recurrence?: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis 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 11 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 To date, there is no cumulative evidence supporting the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) noninducibility after ablation and freedom from AF. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine whether AF noninducibility by burst pacing after catheter ablation is associated with reduced AF recurrence. Methods and Results We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases through July 2019 to identify studies that evaluated AF noninducibility versus inducibility by burst pacing after catheter ablation for freedom from AF. A fixed effects model was used to estimate relative risk (RR) with 95% CIs. Twelve prospective cohort studies with AF noninducibility (n=1612) and inducibility (n=1160) were included. Compared with AF inducibility, AF noninducibility by burst pacing after ablation was associated with a reduced risk of AF recurrence (RR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.60-0.77). Subgroup analysis showed that different AF types (paroxysmal AF and nonparoxysmal AF), different follow-up times (≤6, 6-12, and >12 months), and different degrees of burst pacing (mild, moderate, severe) had no significant impact on the RRs. However, different cut-off times for AF inducibility had a significant impact on the RR (
