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

The therapeutic approach to atrial fibrillation is difficult and challenging. The effect of "classical" antiarrhythmic agents is based on their inhibitory effects on various ion channels. However, therapeutic benefit of these agents is often limited. The primary goal of this article is to discuss new therapeutic approaches using non-ion channel blocking drugs in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Some of the substances discussed in this article have been used already in the clinical practice. Others, for example gentherapeutic approaches, are still in the experimental state. In contrast to ion channel blocking agents their efficacy is based on the suppression of structural remodeling. Hence, it can be assumed that due to these effects they may also be beneficial in the primary prevention of atrial fibrillation.
