Interatrial block predicts atrial fibrillation in patients with carotid and coronary artery disease.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundInteratrial block (IAB) has been previously shown to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) in cardiac populations. This study sought to evaluate the relationship between IAB and new-onset AF in a population of patients undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiography who received carotid ultrasonography.
methodsA population of 355 subjects undergoing coronary angiography and carotid ultrasound were retrospectively studied. Common carotid artery (CCA) far-wall intima-media thickness (CIMT), and total carotid plaque area were measured. Coronary artery disease was measured by angiography and IAB by electrocardiograph (ECG).
resultsThe mean population age was 64.4 years, 70.4% male, mean BMI 29.9 kg/m
conclusionsIAB is a predictor of new-onset AF in patients with carotid and coronary artery disease. Both carotid and coronary artery disease are associated with a higher prevalence of IAB.
