Atrial fibrillation after esophageal cancer surgery: an analysis of 207 consecutive patients.
Article in Surgery today, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to identify perioperative risk factors that are associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) and the outcomes of different pharmacological interventions in esophageal cancer patients who underwent transthoracic esophagectomy.
methodsThis study included 207 patients who underwent a transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer resection by a single surgeon from January 1, 2004, through December 31, 2010.
resultsPostoperative AF occurred in 19 patients (9.2 %), all of whom received antiarrhythmic drug therapy at the early stage. Antiarrhythmic treatment was effective in 12 cases (63.2 %). In this study, landiolol hydrochloride, an ultrashort-acting β1-selective β-blocker, was the first-line therapy for postoperative AF. A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative AF was significantly associated with the use of an ileo-colon for reconstruction after esophagectomy (P = 0.0023, odds ratios [OR] = 13.6) and with the presence of tachycardia with a heart rate of >100 bpm on postoperative day (POD) 1 (P = 0.0004, OR = 18.4).
conclusionsPostoperative AF is associated with the use of a colon conduit for reconstruction after esophagectomy and with tachycardia with a heart rate >100 bpm on POD 1. Identifying patients at high risk for postoperative AF will allow for more direct application of pharmacological methods of prophylaxis.
