Risk factors for atrial fibrillation in patients with normal versus dilated left atrium (from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study).
Trial report in The American journal of cardiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Epidemiological data are limited regarding risk factors of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with normal-sized left atria (LA). We evaluated whether traditional risk factors of AF differ between patients with normal-sized and dilated LA. This is a cross sectional study of community-dwelling participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study. LA volume index was measured by 2-dimensional echocardiography. LA volume index ≥29 mm(3)/m(2) defined dilated LA. Prevalent AF was defined by electrocardiogram and hospital discharge International Classification of Diseases-9 codes. Multivariate adjusted logistic regression analysis was used to examine whether magnitude of association of risk factors with AF differ by LA cavity size. Interaction of risk factors by LA cavity size was evaluated to determine significance of these differential associations. Of 5,496 participants (mean age 75 ± 5 years, women 58%), 1,230 participants (22%) had dilated LA. The prevalence of AF was 11% in patients with normal-sized LA and 15% in patients with dilated LA. Age >75 years (odds ratio [OR] 1.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.49 to 2.35, interaction p = 0.12) and heart failure (OR 5.43, 95% CI 3.77 to 7.87, interaction p = 0.10) were stronger risk factors for AF in normal-sized LA than dilated LA. Female gender (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.77, interaction p = 0.09), weight (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.71, interaction p = 0.19), and alcohol use (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.08 to 2.41, interaction p = 0.004) were stronger risk factors for AF in patients with dilated LA than normal-sized LA. In conclusion, risk factors of AF may differ by left ventricular cavity size.
