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
INTRODUCTION AND
objectivesThis report presents the findings of the 2019 Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry.
methodsData collection was retrospective. A standardized questionnaire was filled by each of the participant centers.
resultsData sent by 102 centers were analyzed, with a total number of ablation procedures performed of 18 549 (the highest historically reported in this registry) for a mean of 181.9 ± 137.0 and a median of 144.5 procedures per center. The ablation targets most frequently treated were atrial fibrillation (n = 5164; 27.8%), cavotricuspid isthmus (n = 3925; 21.1%) and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (n = 3768; 20.3%). A new peak is observed in the ablation of atrial fibrillation, increasing the distance from the other substrates. The overall success rate was again 91%. The rate of major complications was 1.9%, and the mortality rate was 0.03%. An electroanatomic mapping system was used in 44.5% of all procedures, with contact force-sensing irrigated catheters become the preferred for complex substrates, as atrial fibrillation (84.8%) or ventricular tachycardia (around 90%). 1.5% of the ablations were performed in pediatric patients.
conclusionsThe Spanish Catheter Ablation Registry enrolls systematically and uninterruptedly the ablation procedures performed in Spain, showing a progressive increasing in the number of ablations over the years with a high success rate and low percentages of complications.
