Figure 2 Forrest plot. A: Forrest plot of atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence between superior vena cava (SVC) isolation + pulmonary vein (PV) isolation vs PV isolation-only patients; B: Forest plot of atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence between SVC isolation + PV isolation vs PV isolation-only, utilizing radiofrequency energy; C: Forest plot of atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence between SVC isolation + PV isolation vs PV isolation-only, among patients who underwent cryoablation. SVC: Superior vena cava; PVI: Pulmonary vein isolation; OR: Odds ratio; CI: Confidence intervals.
