U-shaped association between serum free triiodothyronine and recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation.
Article in Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeThyroid dysfunction affects the outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation. However, it remains unclear if the variations in thyroid function, especially in the triiodothyronine levels, are associated with AF recurrence in euthyroid subjects. This study investigated the associations of thyroid hormone levels with arrhythmia recurrence after AF catheter ablation in euthyroid patients.
methodsA total of 1115 consecutive AF patients who underwent catheter ablation were prospectively enrolled and had their thyroid function measured prior to the procedure. The serum free triiodothyronine (FT
resultsAfter a median follow-up of 723 days (interquartile range, 180-1070), 47.2% of patients experienced recurrence. After multivariate adjustment, subject in the lowest and highest FT
