Comparative Efficacy and Safety Profiles of High-power, Short-duration and Low-power, Long-duration Radiofrequency Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Review in The Journal of innovations in cardiac rhythm management, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
High-power, short-duration (HPSD) radiofrequency (RF) ablation is expected to be more effective and safer than low-power, long-duration (LPLD) RF ablation in treating atrial fibrillation (AF). Given the limited data available, the findings are controversial. This meta-analysis evaluated whether the clinical effects of HPSD outweigh those of LPLD. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar databases identified studies comparing HPSD to LPLD ablation. All the analyses used the random-effects model. This analysis included 21 studies with a total of 4,169 patients. Pooled analyses revealed that HPSD was associated with a lower recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATAs) at 1 year (relative risk [RR], 0.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.50-0.78;
