1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundsIdentification of precursors of atrial fibrillation (AF) may lead to early detection and prevent associated morbidity and mortality. Atrial premature complexes (APCs) are commonly seen in healthy subjects. However, there was limited data about the clinical and electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics for prediction of new-onset AF in asymptomatic patients with APCs in the long-term follow up.

methodsThe Kosin University (No. 2014-02-04) 24-h holter monitoring, echocardiography, ECG database were reviewed from 2008 to 2016 to identify new- onset AF in patients with APCs. We analyzed demographic and clinical features and the nature of the APCs by ECG according to new-onset AF in those patients.

resultsAmong 652 patients who underwent 24-h holter monitoring, 226 (34.4%) patients had new-onset AF. There was no difference of the baseline characteristics between new-onset AF group and non-AF group. In univariate analysis, hypertension (HTN), renal failure (CRF), high APC burdens, fastest APC running heart rate (HR), minimal HR, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left atrial volume index, peak mitral flow velocity of the early rapid filling wave and tricuspid regurgitation grade were significantly associated with new-onset AF. In multivariate analysis, higher APCs burden (

conclusionHigher APCs burden, higher fastest APCs running HR and lower minimal HR were associated with new-onset AF in asymptomatic patients with APCs in the long-term follow up.
