Successful Slow Pathway Modification with Radiofrequency Ablation in a Patient with AVNRT and Congenital IVC Continuity with Azygos Vein.
Article in European journal of case reports in internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava (IVC), such as interrupted or azygos continuation, complicate catheter-based procedures like atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) ablation. Understanding IVC variations is crucial for successful outcomes in interventional cardiology. Case presentation: A 57-year-old male with long-standing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) underwent successful catheter ablation for AVNRT. Intra-procedurally, a congenital IVC anomaly was identified, requiring modified vascular access. Conclusion: Recognizing IVC anomalies and adapting access strategies are key to overcoming procedural challenges and ensuring successful ablation outcomes. Comprehensive imaging and planning are vital for managing patients with IVC variations. LEARNING POINTS: Congenital inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies, including azygos continuation, can complicate catheter-based interventions such as ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.Congenital anomalies of IVC are rare but critical considerations for atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) ablation procedures.Understanding these variations is essential for ensuring successful catheter-based interventions and minimizing the risk of complications.
