Health Literacy and Atrial Fibrillation: Relevance and Future Directions for Patient-centred Care.
Article in European cardiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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 (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia with significant clinical outcomes, and is associated with high medical and social costs. AF is complicated for patients because of its specialised terminology, long-term adherence, symptom monitoring, referral to specialty care, array of potential interventions and potential for adversity. Health literacy is a frequently under-recognised, yet fundamental, component towards successful care in AF. Health literacy is defined as the capacity to obtain, process and understand health information, and has had markedly limited study in AF. However, health literacy could contribute to how patients interpret symptoms, navigate care, and participate in treatment evaluation and decision-making. This review aims to summarise the clinical importance and essential relevance of health literacy in AF. We focus here on central aspects of AF care that are most related to self-care, including understanding the symptoms of AF, shared decision-making, adherence and anticoagulation for stroke prevention. We discuss opportunities to enhance AF care based on findings from the literature on health literacy, and identify important gaps. Our overall objective is to articulate the importance and relevance of integrating health literacy in the care of individuals with AF.
