ReviewThe international journal of cardiovascular imaging2025
A practical guide and review of the literature on zero-fluoroscopy electrophysiology catheter navigation by intracardiac echocardiography.
Review in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Navigation of electrophysiology (EP) catheters using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is an emerging technique to avoid fluoroscopy and simplify EP procedures. It enables zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation of most common arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular-nodal-reentry-tachycardia, or cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter. In this practical guide, we share our experience and illustrate the principles as well as common manoeuvres for endovascular and intracardiac EP catheter navigation relying solely on ICE visualisation. We also review the available data and highlight the topics which require further investigation in this field.
