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

backgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly prevalent in society, and can elevate cardiac morbidity and mortality. Psychosis and gender are known to play important roles in the genesis of AF. However, it is not clear whether gender modulates the impact of different psychoses on the occurrences of AF.

methodsWe identified patients suffering from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, with and without AF, using the Taiwan National Health Insurance nationwide database. The identified patient population consisted of 927,915 subjects (463,050 males and 464,865 females) from 2001 to 2008, which included 2,963 (3.2 ‰) schizophrenia patients (1,650 males and 1,313 females) and 5,112 (5.5 ‰) bipolar-disorder patients (1,934 males and 3,178 females).

resultsThe male and female bipolar-disorder patients had higher prevalences of AF than did male (16.5 ‰ vs. 2.4 ‰, p < 0.001) and female (12.9 ‰ vs. 2.3 ‰, p < 0.001) schizophrenia patients. Furthermore, male and female bipolar-disorder patients had higher AF prevalences than did males (8.5 ‰, p < 0.001) and females (7.2 ‰, p < 0.001) in the general population. Schizophrenia patients had lower AF prevalence than the general population in male, but not in female gender. Males had a higher AF prevalence than females. However, male and female bipolar disorder and schizophrenia patients had similar AF prevalences. Those patients with schizophrenia and bipolar-disorder patients with AF were older than those without AF.

conclusionsDiffering risk factors for AF were identified in bipolar-disorder and schizophrenia patients. Compared to the general population, gender may have different impacts on the occurrence of AF in psychosis patients.
