Refractory ventricular tachycardia requiring radiofrequency ablation following surgical closure of ventricular septal defect: A rare occurrence.
Article in Annals of pediatric cardiology. 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
Arrhythmia is known complication in postoperative period of congenital heart disease among which ventricular tachycardia is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Here we present an unique case of eleven month old baby managed by radiofrequency ablation for refractory ventricular tachycardia in postoperative VSD closure in view of doubly committed VSD with outlet extension due to refractory hypotension and non response to medical therapy and cardioversion. Although VT is mostly managed by medical treatment conservatively in postoperative period, this patient didn't respond to either medical treatment or cardioversion requiring RFA as bailout strategy. Radiofrequency ablation can be adopted as one of the bailout strategy for the postoperative VT storm even in pediatric population.
