Ventricular tachycardia ablation in children.
Article in Indian pacing and electrophysiology journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionThe ablation of ventricular tachycardia, including premature ventricular contractions, is an approved, albeit infrequent procedure in pediatric patients. Data are scarce regarding the outcomes of this procedure. The purpose of this study was to share a high-volume center experience and patient outcomes for catheter ablation of ventricular ectopy and ventricular tachycardia in pediatric population.
methodsData were retrieved from the institutional data bank. Outcomes over time were evaluated, and procedural details were compared.
resultsA total of 116 procedures were performed on 102 pediatric patients between July 2009 and May 2021 at the Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center in Tehran, Iran. Ablation was not performed in 4 procedures (3.4%) due to high-risk substrates. Of the remaining 112 ablations performed, 99 (88.4%) were successful. However, one patient died due to a coronary complication. There were no significant differences observed in early ablation results based on patients' age, sex, cardiac anatomy, or ablation substrates (P > 0.05). Follow-up records were available for 80 procedures, and 13 (16.3%) of those experienced recurrence. During long-term follow-up, none of the variables mentioned above were statistically different between patients with or without arrhythmia recurrence.
conclusionThe overall success rate of pediatric ventricular arrhythmia ablation is favorable. We found no significant predictor for the procedural success rate concerning acute and late outcomes. Larger multicenter studies are needed to elucidate the predictors and outcomes of the procedure.
