Remote magnetic-guided ablation for three origins of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias with right bundle branch block and superior axis.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundIdiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (IVAs) with right bundle branch block (RBBB) and superior axis commonly originate from posterior mitral annulus (PMA), the left ventricular (LV) posterior fascicle (LPF), and the LV posterior papillary muscles (PPM). HYPOTHESIS: Remote magnetic navigation (RMN)-guided ablation might be safe and effective for these three origins of IVAs.
methodsThirty consecutive IVA patients with RBBB and superior axis (11 MPA-IVAs, 11 LPF-IVAs, and 8 PPM-IVAs) were included in this study. Electrical mapping and ablation with RMN were performed in the LV through a trans-septal approach. Navigation index, defined as the ratio of total radiofrequency (RF) time and the time from first burn to last burn, was used to determine the efficiency of RMN-guided ablation.
resultsThe overall acute success rate was achieved in 93% (PMA, 100%; LPF, 91%; PPM, 88%; p > 0.05). No complication occurred in this study. The procedure time of PPM-IVAs group was 34 and 14 min longer when compared with MPA-IVAs and LPF-IVAs group, respectively, without an increase of X-ray time. The mean navigation index was 0.45 ± 0.20. The PPM-IVAs group had an underperforming navigation index value (0.29 ± 0.11) (p < 0.01), as longer RF time was required in the PPM-IVAs group.
conclusionsRMN-guided ablation can achieve a high acute success rate for IVAs with RBBB and superior axis. The lower navigation index for PPM-IVAs indicated that increasing the RF time and improving the catheter contact should be considered when using RMN.
