1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Fluoroscopic orientation remains a fundamental tool in invasive electrophysiology despite the increasing use of three-dimensional mapping. Particularly for early-career electrophysiologists, fluoroscopy is not only a means of catheter navigation but also an important safety tool for rapidly assessing spatial relationships, catheter stability, and potential complications. It continues to provide clear practical information during complex maneuvers such as transseptal puncture, right atrial ablation, atrial fibrillation ablation, and pericardial access. Safe and effective use of fluoroscopy requires specific anatomical and topographical knowledge. Orientation is typically based on defined anatomical landmarks visualized in standard projections. This article provides an overview of the most relevant fluoroscopic landmarks, their appearance and localization on fluoroscopic imaging, and the standard views commonly used in electrophysiological procedures.
