Characteristics of atrioventricular block during slow pathway ablation for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia: A comparative study of cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Introduction: Slow-pathway ablation with cryoablation is a useful tool for treating atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT). However, reports on the characteristics of atrioventricular block (AVB) during cryoablation are limited. Therefore, we investigated the differences in the appearance of AVB between cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Methods: This dual-center retrospective study included 341 patients who underwent slow-pathway ablation of AVNRT using cryoablation or RFA. Results: A total of 137 patients underwent cryoablation (CRYO group, Conclusion: Cryoablation gradually induces atrioventricular conduction disturbances when AVB occurs inadvertently, taking longer than RFA. Compared to RFA, cryoablation has a relatively high incidence of transient AVB during slow-pathway ablation but does not result in permanent AVB.
