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

Cognitive impairment and dementia are established complications of heart failure (HF) in adult patients and impair medication adherence and self-care. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is suggested to play an independent role in the cognitive decline in patients with HF. The objective of this systematic review was to assess the effect of AF on cognitive function in these patients. Medline (PubMed), Scopus, and the CENTRAL databases were queried from their inception up to April 30, 2016. The search included primary research articles evaluating the effect of AF on cognition in HF patients. There were five eligible studies, including a total of 1670 patients with HF; of these, 449 (26.9%) had AF. Different AF types were studied, including persistent, paroxysmal, or permanent. Four cognitive tests were used to assess cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Examination, Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire, Modified Mini-Mental Examination, and Montreal cognitive assessment tool). Using the inverse variance method and a random effects model, we observed that presence of AF was significantly associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment in HF patients (odds ratio [OR], 1.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30-2.87), although with significant heterogeneity (I
