Atrial fibrillation in heart failure: stroke risk stratification and anticoagulation.
Review in Heart failure reviews, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
For an individual patient with both atrial fibrillation and heart failure, stroke risk is one of the most prominent mitigating factors for subsequent morbidity and mortality. Although the CHADS₂ stroke risk score is the most widely used score for risk stratification, it does not take into account the risk factors of vascular disease, female gender, or the age group 65-74 years, for which there is increasing evidence. There is also evidence that diastolic heart failure is as much a risk factor for stroke as systolic heart failure. The new oral anticoagulants dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban appear to be appropriate agents in the heart failure population with atrial fibrillation and risk factors for stroke although there are dose-adjustments for renal insufficiency and these medications are contraindicated in advanced renal disease. As with the atrial fibrillation population as a whole, bleeding risk should be considered for every patient with heart failure prior to making recommendations regarding anticoagulation.
