1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: A three-dimensional (3D) mapping system is essential to reduce radiation exposure during catheter ablation. When using the CARTO 3D mapping system, only the catheter with magnetic sensor can visualize its location. However, once target chamber matrix is created using the catheter, even the catheters without magnetic sensors (CWMS) can enable visualization. We aimed to investigate the feasibility and safety of placing a CWMS in the coronary sinus (CS) without fluoroscopic guidance. Methods: The study group comprised 88 consecutive patients who underwent catheter ablation. CWMS placement was performed without fluoroscopic guidance in 47 patients and with fluoroscopic guidance in 41 patients. Placement without fluoroscopic guidance was performed after creating a visualization matrix of the CS, right atrium, and superior vena cava using a catheter with a magnetic sensor. Feasibility and safety were compared between the two groups. Results: Successful catheter placement was achieved in all patients without fluoroscopic guidance, with no inter-group difference in the median procedure time: with guidance, 120.0 [96.0-135.0] min, and without guidance, 110.0 [97.5-125.0] min; Conclusions: CWMS placement without fluoroscopic guidance is feasible, safe to perform, and does not involve complications. Our technique provides an option to decrease radiation exposure during catheter ablation and electrophysiological testing.
