Transseptal Approach Versus Transaortic Approach for Catheter Ablation of Left-Sided Accessory Pathways in Children.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. 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
Background: Catheter ablation is recommended to eradicate supraventricular tachycardia caused by left-sided accessory pathways (APs) in children. This study aims to compare the safety and efficacy of the transseptal approach (TS) and aortic approach (TA) for catheter ablation of left-sided APs in a pediatric cohort. Methods: Patients < 18 years of age with left-sided APs who had undergone ablation at Beijing Children's Hospital between 13 January 2018 and 7 January 2020 were included and randomly categorized into either TS or TA group (follow-up for 22 months). In all, 60 patients in TS group and 41 patients in TA group were included in this study. Principal endpoints were success rate, recurrence rate, complications, procedure time, and radiation dose. Results: For TS group versus TA group, success rate was observed in 100 versus 97.56% ( Conclusion: Both TS and TA for catheter ablation of left-sided Aps were shown to be safe and effective in children. Zero radiation and ease of mastery make TA the preferred choice. TS is recommended to be used by properly trained medical professionals, especially for patient with AP localized in the LPL or LPS. However, TS is a good alternative where patients have aortic lesions or when TA fails.
