[Characteristics of oral anti-coagulation treatment in high-risk chronic auricular fibrillation].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo calculate the prevalence of chronic auricular fibrillation (CAF), how much of it is considered high-risk (CAFhr) and the degree of coverage with oral anti-coagulation treatment (OAT).
designMulti-centre descriptive study.
setting9 health districts. The "Terres de l'Ebre" Primary Care Service.
participantsRandomised sample of 375 patients with CAF, of whom 150 met the criteria of CAFh-r during 2002. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Profile of patients with CAFh-r; coverage with OAT; place of follow-up; presence of vascular complications, and the time relationships between the diagnosis of CAF, vascular complications and the start of OAT. All the INR determinations taken from the patients included in the study were used.
resultsThere was 2.2% prevalence of CAF (95% CI, 1.4-3.3). 40% of CAF had criteria of CAFh-r. 74.2% were treated with OAT. In 41.7% the diagnosis of CAF coincided with the incidence of some vascular complication. There were no differences between the overall results of the INR obtained in hospital and in PC. The expected efficacy of OAT for thromboembolism prevention in our high-risk sample was 61.12%.
conclusions40% of the CAF are high-risk. In over a third of patients OAT was indicated after a vascular complication linked to an unknown CAF. The INR between 2-3 is similar in PC centres and the corresponding haematology service.
