A New Era in Zero X-ray Ablation.
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 22 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
In this article, the authors focus on the importance of the zero X-ray ablation approach in electrophysiology. Radiation exposure related to conventional transcatheter ablation carries small but non-negligible stochastic and deterministic effects on health. Non-fluoroscopic mapping systems can significantly reduce, or even completely avoid, radiological exposure. The zero X-ray approach determines potential clinical benefits in terms of reduction of ionising radiation exposure, as well as safe technical advantages. The use of this method can result in similar outcomes when compared to the conventional fluoroscopic technique. These results are achieved without altering the duration, or compromising the effectiveness and safety, of the procedure. The zero X-ray ablation approach is a feasible and safe alternative to fluoroscopy, which is often only used in selected cases for troubleshooting. The non-fluoroscopic approach is considered a milestone for cancer prevention in ablation procedures.
