Atrial fibrillation and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a systematic overview and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Current cardiology reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) confers an increased risk of mortality in patients hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, it is unclear whether new-onset and preexisting AF portend a different risk. We extracted data from studies that evaluated in-hospital mortality in patients with AMI and included information on cardiac rhythm. Overall, the risk of mortality was higher in patients with AF than in those in sinus rhythm (OR 2.00, 95 % CI: 1.93-2.08; P < 0.0001). Compared with patients who remained in sinus rhythm, the risk of death was increased in patients with new AF certain (sinus rhythm on admission, new AF during hospitalization, and history of no evidence of prior AF; OR 3.38, 95 % CI: 2.98-3.83; P < 0.0001), new AF uncertain (sinus rhythm on admission, AF during hospitalization, but no clear information about previous history of AF; OR 1.90, 95 % CI:1.83-1.98; P < 0.0001), and permanent AF (AF before and during hospitalization; OR 2.01, 95 % CI:1.70-2.38;P < 0.0001). In a meta-regression analysis, the risk of death was 87 % higher in patients with new AF certain than in those with permanent AF (P = 0.013) or AF uncertain (P = 0.003), and not dissimilar in patients with new AF uncertain and permanent AF (P = 0.706).
