An Antiquated Concept in the Novel Era of Ablation: Zero-fluoroscopy Pulsed Field Ablation for Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in The Journal of innovations in cardiac rhythm management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is a common tool that has real-time impact in novel pulsed-field ablation (PFA). It is a feasible and efficient option due to zero-fluoroscopy, real-time tissue visualization of procedural maneuvers, and for the assessment of potential procedural complications. We present a case of zero-fluoroscopy-based PFA using four-dimensional (4D) ICE in a 68-year-old man with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Using 4D ICE, we were able to achieve procedural success by visualization of direct tissue contact with the Farawave™ catheter (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) with each rotation and application of the basket and flower configurations and no edema or color change in tissue morphology after applications. Overall, zero fluoroscopy in PFA is feasible and efficient.
