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

Over the past decade, compelling evidence has emerged from population-based studies to suggest that AF is a heritable disease. More recently, we have begun to elucidate the genetic substrate underlying AF. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have led to the identification of multiple risk loci that confer increased susceptibility to the arrhythmia. These loci harbor intriguing candidate genes including those encoding ion channels, transcription factors, and signaling molecules. Current efforts are ongoing to functionally validate the role of these genes in disease pathogenesis. In the future, novel genotyping technologies such as exome sequencing and whole-genome sequencing promise to uncover a greater proportion of the heritability underlying AF. In this article we review recent advances in AF genetics research and discuss future developments in the field.
