Imaging Modality Selection in Cardiac Ablation.
Article in The Journal of innovations in cardiac rhythm management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Catheter ablation as a treatment method for both ventricular and atrial arrhythmias has evolved significantly over the past 40 years since it was first performed in humans. This evolution has been paralleled by a similar expansion in both invasive and non-invasive imaging modalities directed at further elucidating cardiac morphology and arrhythmia substrate pathophysiology. Access to multimodality imaging options is a significant piece of the armamentarium available to interventional electrophysiologists who are tackling increasingly complex rhythm problems with catheter ablation. This presents a unique problem to the practicing electrophysiologist in selecting the most pertinent imaging modalities that will improve the safety and efficacy of a procedure and winnowing out potential imaging studies that offer minimal or marginal benefit. In this review, we evaluate the various modalities that are useful in planning and executing successful ablation and weigh the evidence for benefit.
