Prognosis in patients with atrial fibrillation and a presumed "temporary cause" in a community-based cohort study.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) may be related to acute and temporary causes, whether cardiovascular or non-cardiovascular. It remains unclear whether the risk of ischemic stroke is different in this setting, and whether antithrombotic management should be different in these patients. The objective of the study was to describe and compare the risk of stroke in AF patients with and with no such temporary precipitating cause.
methodsAmong 8962 patients with AF seen between 2000 and 2010, we focused our analysis on 4587 patients with non-permanent AF, of whom 740 (16 %) had at least one possible temporary cause of AF.
resultsDuring a mean follow-up of 944 days (median 451, interquartile range 8-1624), the adjusted rates of stroke/TE were non-significantly different between patients with a temporary cause of AF and other AF patients (HR = 1.08, 95 % CI 0.82-1.41, p = 0.59 after adjustment on age, gender, CHA
conclusionAF patients with presumed temporary cause of AF had a similar risk of stroke/thromboembolism and a worse prognosis for cardiovascular mortality than other AF patients. Use of oral anticoagulation was associated with a better prognosis in these patients.
