Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting After Deep Sedation for Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation in Pediatric Patients.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2026. 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
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) effectively treats pediatric arrhythmias, but postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication impacting patient experience. This study investigated PONV incidence and its contributing factors in pediatric RFA under deep sedation. This retrospective, single-center cohort study reviewed 70 RFA procedures in 63 pediatric patients (aged ≤ 18 years) performed between January 2013 and December 2025. All procedures were managed under a standardized deep sedation protocol. Data on demographics, arrhythmia type, procedural characteristics (including ablation site: right-sided vs. left-sided), anesthetic management, and the occurrence of PONV within 24 h were collected. PONV occurred in 12 of the 70 procedures (17%). The incidence of PONV was significantly higher following left-sided ablation compared to right-sided ablation (8/24 [33%] vs. 4/46 [9%];
