Atrial fibrillation, elevated troponin, ischemic stroke and adverse outcomes: understanding the connection.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Cardiac troponin is widely used for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. In addition to this indication, the elevation of troponin has been found to play a prognostic role in ischemic stroke. It is hypothesized that approximately 15-20 % of all ischemic strokes are associated with atrial fibrillation and that these events are more often fatal. Recent studies have demonstrated that troponin elevation can also be used as a prognosticator in patients with atrial fibrillation and for risk stratification to predict which patients are more prone to stroke or other thromboembolic events. Therefore, troponin appears to play a pivotal role in the overlap of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke and the subsequent development of an adverse outcome. The different aspects of this association will be addressed and novel explanations will be proposed to better clarify the underlying mechanisms.
