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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is on the rise due to the increased rate of related comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. Patients with CKD are at higher risk of cardiovascular events and atrial fibrillation is more common in this patient population. It is estimated that the prevalence of chronic atrial fibrillation in patients with CKD is two to three times higher than general population. Furthermore, patients with CKD are less likely to stay in sinus rhythm. Atrial fibrillation presents a major burden in this population due to difficult treatment decisions in the setting of a lack of evidence from randomized clinical trials. Patients with CKD have higher risk of stroke with more than half having a CHADS2 score ≥ 2. Anticoagulation have been shown to significantly decrease embolic stroke risk, however bleeding complications such as hemorrhagic stroke is twofold higher with warfarin. Although newer novel anticoagulation drugs have shown promise with lower intracranial hemorrhage risk in comparison to warfarin, lack clinical trial data in CKD and the unavailability of an antidote remains an issue. In this review, we discuss the treatment options available including anticoagulation and the evidence behind them in patients with chronic kidney disease suffering from atrial fibrillation.
