Association between Heat Shock Protein-60 and Development of Atrial Fibrillation: Results from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
Trial report in Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundDuring atrial fibrillation (AF), a high rate of myocyte activation causes cellular stress and initiates the process of atrial remodeling, which further promotes persistence of AF. Although heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been shown to prevent atrial remodeling and suppress the occurrence of AF in cellular and animal experimental models, increased levels of HSP-60 have been observed in patients with postoperative AF, likely reflecting a response to cellular stress. To better understand the role of HSP-60 in relation to AF, we examined the association of HSP-60 levels in relation to the future development of AF in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
methodsMESA is a cohort study that recruited 6,814 participants aged 45-84 years and free of known cardiovascular disease at baseline (2000-2002) from six field centers. We investigated 983 participants, selected at random from the total cohort, who had HSP-60 measured and were free of AF at baseline. We tested the association of HSP-60 levels with the incidence of AF using multivariate Cox models after adjustment for demographics, clinical characteristics, and biomarkers.
resultsDuring an average of 10.6 years of follow-up, 77 participants developed AF. We did not observe a significant association between the log-transformed HSP-60 levels and development of AF on either unadjusted or multivariate analysis (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.02 per unit difference on natural log scale, 95% confidence interval: 0.77-1.34 ln (ng/mL).
conclusionContrary to the findings from the preclinical studies, which demonstrated an important role of HSP-60 in the pathogenesis of AF, we did not observe a significant association between HSP-60 and occurrence of AF.
