Best practices in robotic magnetic navigation-guided catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias, a position paper of the Society for Cardiac Robotic Navigation.
Review in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Preamble: Robotic magnetic navigation (RMN)-guided catheter ablation (CA) technology has been used for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias for almost 20 years. Various studies reported that RMN allows for high catheter stability, improved lesion formation and a superior safety profile. So far, no guidelines or recommendations on RMN-guided CA have been published. Purpose: The aim of this consensus paper was to summarize knowledge and provide recommendations on management of arrhythmias using RMN-guided CA as treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Methodology: An expert writing group, performed a detailed review of available literature, and drawing on their own experience, drafted and voted on recommendations and summarized current knowledge and practice in the field. Recommendations on RMN-guided CA are presented in a guideline format with three levels of recommendations to serve as a reference for best practices in RMN procedures. Each recommendation is accompanied by supportive text and references. The various sections cover the practical spectrum from system and patient set-up, EP laboratory staffing, combination of RMN with fluoroscopy and mapping systems, use of automation features and ablation settings and targets, for different cardiac arrhythmias. Conclusion: This manuscript, presenting the combined experience of expert robotic users and knowledge from the available literature, offers a unique resource for providers interested in the use of RMN in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
