[Epidemiology of the relationship between atrial fibrillation and heart failure].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Atrial fibrillation and heart failure are diseases which often coexist aggravating prognosis and constituting a major public health problem. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in patients with chronic heart failure and to determine the clinical profile of this group of patients. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study based on the registry of heart failure of the Department of Cardiology at the University Hospital Centre from June 2006 to March 2015. All patients over 18 years of age with chronic heart failure associated with atrial fibrillation were included in the study. During the study period 3048 patients with chronic heart failure associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) were enrolled. The prevalence of heart failure was 10.6%. The frequency of cardiovascular risk factors associated with (AF) was: (54%) hypertension, (39%) diabetes, (8%) dyslipidemia, (26%) tobacco, (30%) sedentary lifestyle and (17%) menopause. FA affected 67.4% of men and 32.6% of women. The causes of chronic heart failure associated with atrial fibrillation were: heart valve diseases (44;1%); coronary artery diseases (32%); hypertensive (11%), primary (10%), toxic (2%) and chronic alcoholism (1%). Atrial fibrillation frequently appears in patients with heart failure in Morocco and it occurs at an average age lower than that found in the literature.
