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

Catheter ablation is an important therapeutic strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). While some critical steps of the procedure have traditionally relied on fluoroscopy, advances in electroanatomic mapping and the growing use of intracardiac echocardiography have made non-fluoroscopic AF ablation a reality. This hands-on review provides an overview on how to perform radiofrequency ablation of AF without the use of fluoroscopy, focusing on technical aspects, new technologies, and troubleshooting.
