Estimated glomerular filtration ratio is a better index than creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault) for predicting the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in the general Japanese population.

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
Direct oral anti-coagulants (DOACs) have been used in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), and renal function evaluation using the CCr (Cockcroft-Gault) is recommended as a criterion for the reduction of DOAC. In contrast, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is usually used as an index of renal function in daily practice. We determined the age- and gender-specific prevalence rates of AF and whether CCr or eGFR was associated with the prevalence of AF. Data from the periodic health examinations of 108,951 subjects were collected. Risk factors for AF were determined based on medical history, physical examinations and blood samples, and AF was diagnosed based on electrocardiography. The prevalence rate of AF was 0.92% (998/108,951). It was four times higher in men than in women and increased with age. Cardiac disease (odds ratio (OR) = 27.07, confidence interval (CI) 23.39-31.37, p = 0.0001), male gender (OR = 3.65, CI 3.11-4.30), age > 65 years (OR = 2.52, CI 2.14-2.96), hyperlipidemia (OR = 2.51, CI 1.97-3.20), BMI > 25 kg/m
