Increased risk of atrial fibrillation in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia: A population-based cohort study.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveThe objective was to compare the rate of onset of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as compared with controls.
methodsWe performed a retrospective study on national health registry comparing the incidence of AF between a cohort of 15 670 BPH patients and a propensity-matched cohort of 15 670 control patients. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were performed to estimate the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of incident AF associated with BPH. A subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate the risk of AF among BPH patients whether they received a BPH surgery or not as compared with those without BPH.
resultsWe found a 4.77 incidence rate per 1000 person-years in the BPH group, compared to 3.76 in the control group. After controlling for the confounders, a significant association between BPH and risk of incident AF was shown with an adjusted HR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.11-1.28) and this association was attenuated once surgical intervention for BPH has been applied (adjusted HR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.76-0.97).
conclusionsThis study supported the notion that BPH is associated with greater AF occurrence.
