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
Objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of completely zero-fluoroscopy radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with that of conventional RFA guided by three-dimensional mapping in Chinese children with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Methods: The study had a single-center observational design and included 46 children aged 6-14 years who underwent RFA for PSVT at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University between March 2019 and September 2021. The children were divided according to whether they underwent zero-fluoroscopy RFA (zero-fluoroscopy group, Results: The children had a median age of 12 years (interquartile range 10, 13), 47.8% (22/46) were boys, and 52.2% (24/46) were girls. The mean body weight was 48.75 ± 15.26 kg. There was no significant between-group difference in the baseline data ( Conclusion: Zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation can completely avoid fluoroscopy exposure in children without affecting the safety and efficacy of RFA.
