Cryoballoon ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in Kazakhstan: One year outcome from the Cryo Global Registry.
Article in Indian pacing and electrophysiology journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02752737 (Cryo Global Registry, a Part of the Medtronic Cardiac Ablation Post-Market Study Platform), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
introductionAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and potentially serious cardiac rhythm disorder. Cryoballoon ablation using the Arctic Front catheter offers a modern treatment approach. This subanalysis evaluates the safety, efficacy, and impact on quality of life for patients undergoing t this procedure in Kazakhstan. The Cryo AF Global Registry (NCT02752737) is an ongoing prospective, multi-center observational post-market registry collecting global data on CBA procedures conducted with the Arctic Front™ Family of Cardiac Cryoablation Catheters.
methodsThe study included patients aged 18 and older with paroxysmal, persistent, and long-standing persistent AF. Key safety endpoints included serious adverse events related to the device or procedure. Efficacy was measured by the absence of AF, atrial flutter (AFL), and/or atrial tachycardia (AT) after a 90-day period of discontinuing antiarrhythmic medications.
resultsNo injuries to the phrenic nerve or serious complications were reported. Three serious adverse events occurred, but these were not related to the procedure. At 12 months, the Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a 92.9 % rate of freedom from AF or other atrial arrhythmias after the 90-day blanking period. Two repeat ablations (2.9 %) were needed for AF.
conclusionThis analysis supports the conclusion that cryoballoon ablation is both safe and effective for treating AF in Kazakhstan, resulting in significant improvements in patients' quality of life. REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02752737.
