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

During the last ten years we have made substantial progress in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of atrial fibrillation. The high rate associated alterations in electrical and structural properties of the atria, referred to as atrial remodeling, promote the progression of atrial fibrillation. The development of new therapeutic approaches addresses three different directions: (i) prevention of atrial remodeling, especially of structural remodeling; (ii) increase of long-term efficacy of currently used drugs and improvement of their side-effect profile; and (iii) design of atria- and pathology-specific antiarrhythmic drugs without concomitant proarrhythmic effects in the ventricles. The current review outlines the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation and focuses on electrical remodeling. The properties of new antiarrhythmic drugs for atrial fibrillation are discussed in detail.
