Catheter mapping and ablation during pregnancy.
Review in Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
A substantial number of pregnant women at some point experience cardiac arrhythmia, which is mostly treated by antiarrhythmic medication. In some instances, arrhythmias can be drug-resistant and pose a relevant risk to both mother and unborn child as they can result in hemodynamic compromise. In recent years, invasive electrophysiology procedures have been carried out with ever reducing exposure to ionising radiation, and multiple techniques have been established to achieve ZERO exposure. Of course, these techniques should all be applied when contemplating an invasive mapping and ablation procedure during pregnancy. The role of the cardio-obstetrics team in planning and performing such procedures is paramount. Careful assessment of the pregnant mother and her unborn child is mandatory. Only with good preparation is a complete understanding of both cardiac anatomy and physiology achievable, which is a pre-requisite of a successful ablation outcome. Various aspects of the ablation procedure itself are discussed and evaluated from the perspective of all team members involved, including the obstetrician, the anaesthetist and the electrophysiologist. This review aims to inform the reader about the techniques available and reports on the published outcomes for ablations during pregnancy in the last decade.
