Value of plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels for predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation: a systemic review and meta-analysis.

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
backgroundBlood natriuretic peptide (NP) levels have been reported to be useful for predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to quantitatively synthesize the current evidence of the accuracy of using NP levels in predicting postoperative AF. METHODS AND
resultsMedline, Embase, and reference lists were searched. Studies were included if either brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal pro-b type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) had been evaluated perioperatively to predict postoperative AF. Data were analyzed to obtain summary accuracy estimates. Data from 1,844 patients in 10 studies were analyzed. Summary estimates for the sensitivity and specificity of using NP levels for predicting postoperative AF were 75 % [95 % confidence interval (CI) 67-79 %] and 80 % (95 % CI 62-91 %), respectively. The overall diagnostic odds ratio was 3.28 (95 % CI 2.23-4.84). Subgroup analysis showed that elevated NP levels in the perioperative period were a strong independent predictor of postoperative AF. NT-proBNP appeared to have better predictive value than BNP, as did postoperative assessment over preoperative assessment. BNP had a better correlation with postoperative AF in patients undergoing thoracic surgery than in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
conclusionsPerioperative assessment of the natriuretic peptide level in patients undergoing major cardiothoracic surgery could be a valuable diagnostic aid for identifying patients at high risk of developing postoperative AF, and for providing critical clinical information to guide prophylactic antiarrhythmic therapy in the perioperative period.
