Perceived Stress and Atrial Fibrillation: The REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Study.
Article in Annals of behavioral medicine : a publication of the Society of Behavioral Medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundThe association between perceived stress and atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to examine the association between perceived stress and AF.
methodsA total of 25,530 participants (mean age 65 ± 9.4 years; 54 % women; 41 % blacks) from the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study were included in this analysis. Logistic regression was used to compute odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) for the association between the short version of the Cohen Perceived Stress Scale and AF.
resultsIn a multivariable analysis adjusted for demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, and potential confounders, the prevalence of AF was found to increase with higher levels of stress (none: OR = 1.0, referent; low stress: OR = 1.12, 95 % CI = 0.98, 1.27; moderate stress OR = 1.27, 95 % CI = 1.11, 1.47; high stress: OR = 1.60, 95 % CI = 1.39, 1.84).
conclusionIncreasing levels of perceived stress are associated with prevalent AF in REGARDS.
