Predictors of new-onset atrial fibrillation in elderly patients with coronary artery disease after coronary artery bypass graft.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveTo identify the factors associated with the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
methodsA total of 81 patients with CAD who underwent CABG were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1, without postoperative atrial fibrillation (59 patients, 74.6% men, mean age 65.8 ± 4.0 years); Group 2, with early new-onset atrial fibrillation after CABG (22 patients, 90.9% men, mean age 67.7 ± 5.4 years). Interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, superoxide dismutase (SOD), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and troponin I were studied.
resultsDuring the observation period, atrial fibrillation occurred in 27.2% cases, an average of 4.9 ± 3.8 days after surgery. In group 2, the left atrium (LA) dimension was larger than in group 1 (43.9 ± 3.4 mm vs. 37.6 ± 3.9 mm, P < 0.001). Patients with POAF had significantly higher IL-6 (72.7 ± 60.8 pg/mL vs. 38.0 ± 34.6 pg/mL, P = 0.04), IL-8 (11.9 ± 6.0 pg/mL vs. 7.7 ± 5.4 pg/mL, P = 0.01) and SOD (2462.0 ± 2029.3 units/g vs. 1515.0 ± 1292.9 units/g, P = 0.04) compared with group without POAF. The multivariate analysis showed that the odds ratio (OR) for POAF development in patients with left atrium more than 39 mm was 2.1 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2-3.8, P = 0.0004], IL-6 levels more than 65.18 pg/mL-1.4 (95% CI: 1.1-2.7, P = 0.009), IL-8 levels more than 9.67 pg/mL-1.2 (95% CI: 1.1-3.7, P = 0.009), SOD more than 2948 units/g-1.1 (95% CI: 1.01-2.9, P = 0.04).
conclusionsIn our study, the independent predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation after CABG in elderly patients were left atrium dimension and the increased postoperative concentration of IL-6, IL-8 and superoxide dismutase.
