Review in The Canadian journal of cardiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and has significant clinical impact. Over the last decade, our understanding of the genetics of AF has expanded dramatically. After a heritable predisposition for AF was identified, many investigators have in turn identified both common and rare variants associated with AF. Ongoing work is focused on translating these variants into disease pathways and novel therapeutic modalities. In this review, we focus on our understanding of the current concepts behind the genetics of AF and outline a vision for the incorporation of genetic data into clinical practice.
