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

Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is an effective treatment option for targeting the slow pathway (SP) in atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT). Previous data suggested that using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) guidance could improve procedural outcomes when compared to using fluoroscopy alone. In this prospective study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of an electroanatomical mapping system (EAMS)-guided approach with an ICE-guided approach for SP ablation. Eighty patients undergoing SP ablation for AVNRT were randomly assigned to either the ICE-guided or EAMS-guided group. If the procedural endpoint was not achieved after 8 RF applications; patients were allowed to crossover to the ICE-guided group. The ICE-guided approach reduced the total procedure time (61.0 (56.0; 66.8) min vs. 71.5 (61.0; 80.8) min,
