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

Catheter ablation has become a central part of the non-pharmacological treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. It can be performed under conscious sedation, deep sedation, or general anesthesia, but it is getting clear that the incidence of complications during the procedure and the success rate of treatment (with no recurrence of arrhythmia) may be strongly influenced by sedation or anesthesia method. In particular, in sedated patients, ablation procedure may frequently cause severe pain, and the most common adverse events are related to sedation methods. Therefore, anesthesiologists will increasingly be asked to take care of the patients undergoing catheter ablation. In this article, we describe what anesthesiologists should know about ablation procedure and its associated problems, to provide appropriate anesthesia care to patients undergoing catheter ablation.
