Safety and feasibility of 3D-electroanatomical mapping-guided zero or near-zero fluoroscopy catheter ablation for pediatric arrhythmias: Meta-analysis.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Background: Catheter ablation in the pediatric population using fluoroscopy has been known to cause adverse events. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of zero fluoroscopy (ZF) and near-ZF-guided catheter ablation for the treatment of arrhythmias in the pediatric population. Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library databases were searched and reviewed for relevant studies. Outcomes of interest include safety, short-term, and long-term effectiveness. We classified patients ≤21 years old who underwent ZF or near-ZF ablation with fluoroscopy time ≤1.5 min as our study group and patients within the same age range who underwent conventional fluoroscopy and/or near-ZF ablation with a mean fluoroscopy time >1.5 min as our control group. Both ZF and near-ZF ablation utilized 3D-electroanatomical mapping (3D-EAM). Results: Ten studies composed of 2279 patients were included in this study. Total fluoroscopy time (MD -15.93 min, 95% CI (-22.57 - (-9.29), Conclusion: ZF and near-ZF ablation reduced the overall duration, compares in effectiveness, and shows a superior safety profile compared to control group.
