The integration of electroanatomic maps into cardiac radioablation treatment planning: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Medical physics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
backgroundVentricular tachycardia is a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia for which radiation therapy is an emerging therapeutic option. Electroanatomic maps (EAMs) are used to define clinical target volumes (CTVs) in cardiac radioablation (CRA) treatment planning. Treatment planning systems are unable to integrate EAM data, thus many different workflows have been developed to guide clinicians in CTV creation. PURPOSE: To provide a review of existing CTV definition protocols involving EAM integration for CRA.
methodsPubMed was searched on January 11, 2024, using appropriate search terms. Results were filtered according to inclusion and exclusion criteria following PRISMA guidelines. Results were manually sorted based on their workflow.
resultsThe original literature search resulted in 271 search results, to which two hand-selected articles were added. 85 of the resulting articles met inclusion criteria and did not meet exclusion criteria. The reviewed protocols included side-by-side approaches for EAM integration into the treatment planning workflow as well as software-based protocols. Software-based protocols were further subcategorized based on whether the workflows used commercial or non-commercial software to aid in CTV definition.
conclusionsThere is a strong desire to provide solutions for EAM integration into CRA CTV definition protocols. Although single center-specific approaches exist, there is no standardized workflow to address this problem. As the field of CRA grows, standardized workflows and guidelines will be necessary to perform meaningful analyses and comparisons of data between small data sets and to make recommendations for both technical and therapeutic indications.
