Trends in the rates of hospitalizations for acute stroke among patients over 90 years of age with atrial fibrillation in the United States: from 2005 to 2014.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAcute stroke (AS) rates in patients over 90 years of age (very elderly) with atrial fibrillation (AF) in the United States (US) are not known. We assessed trends in hospitalizations for AS among very elderly with AF in the US from 2005 to 2014.
methodsWe used the nationwide inpatient sample (NIS) from the USA; 2005-2014. AF and AS diagnoses were abstracted using international classification of diseases, 9
resultsFrom 2005 to 2014, 3,606,073 hospitalizations of very elderly with AF were reported. Of these, 188,948 hospitalizations (141,822 hospitalizations in women and 47,126 hospitalizations in men) had AS as the primary diagnosis. Age adjusted AS hospitalizations increased in the total cohort (3217/million in 2005 to 3871/million in 2014), in women (3540/million in 2005 to 4487/million in 2014) and in men (2490/million in 2005 to 3173/million in 2014) (
conclusionsThere is an increasing trend in AS hospitalizations among nonagenarians with AF in the US despite improving utilization of anticoagulants in this patient population. The etiologies driving this alarming trend are unclear and require further study.
