Non-invasive Stereotactic Radioablation: A New Option for the Treatment of Ventricular Arrhythmias.
Review in Arrhythmia & electrophysiology review, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Radiofrequency catheter ablation can be effective for the treatment of VT but it carries a high rate of recurrence often attributable to insufficient depth of penetration for reaching critical arrhythmogenic substrates. Stereotactic body radioablation (SBRT) is a commonly used technology developed for the non-invasive treatment of solid tumours. Recent evidence suggests that it can also be effective for the treatment of VT. It is a non-invasive procedure and it has the unique advantage of delivering ablative energy to any desired volume within the body to reach sites that are inaccessible with catheter ablation. This article summarises the pre-clinical studies that have formed the evidence base for SBRT in the heart, describes the clinical approaches for SBRT VT ablation and provides perspective on next steps for this new treatment modality.
