[New onset atrial fibrillation in patients with sepsis].
Review in Der Anaesthesist, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 is the most common new onset arrhythmia in patients hospitalized with sepsis; however, there are no specific treatment guidelines and the ideal therapeutic approaches still remain unclear.
objectivesTo begin with the current state of knowledge concerning the underling mechanisms, the incidence and prognostic impact of new onset atrial fibrillation during sepsis are presented. Then a possible therapeutic algorithm for the special situation of sepsis is derived with respect to the currently existing atrial fibrillation guidelines. Finally necessary future research topics are outlined. MATERIAL ANS
methodsA systematic literature search was conducted in MEDLINE. All publications (reviews and studies) relevant for the summary of the current knowledge regarding new onset atrial fibrillation in septic patients were included.
resultsThe underlying patchomechanism is primarily systemic inflammation. Approximately 8% of patients with sepsis and more than 20% of patients with septic shock develop new onset atrial fibrillation. The occurrence of atrial fibrillation is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The necessity of rhythm control therapy is dependent on the hemodynamic stability. The success rate of electrical cardioversion can be increased by the administration of amiodarone. The necessity of systemic anticoagulation is based on the individual risk of thromboembolism.
conclusionFurther research is needed to unveil the optimal therapeutic strategies for patients with new onset atrial fibrillation during sepsis.
