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

aimTo study association between country of birth and risk of first-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in first- and second-generation immigrants to Sweden under 45 y of age.

methodsThe study population included all individuals (n = 3 248 457) under the age of 45 y in Sweden, including immigrants (n = 722 249). AF was defined as first registered diagnosis in the National Patient Register. Association between country of birth and risk of AF was assessed by Cox regression, calculating HRs and 95% CIs, using Swedish-born individuals as referents. All models were stratified by sex, and in different models were adjusted for age, area of residence in Sweden, educational level, marital status, neighbourhood socioeconomic status and co-morbidity(ies).

resultsA higher fully adjusted HR of incident AF was found in the total sample of first-generation immigrants, 1.44 (95% CI 1.35 to 1.54), in males born in Denmark, Lebanon and Iraq, and in females born in Turkey and Iraq. Lower HRs were found in male and female immigrants from Latin America and Iran, and female immigrants from Finland. Among second-generation immigrants, the fully adjusted HR was significantly lower, 0.70 (95% CI 0.58 to 0.83).

conclusionsClinicians may show a greater awareness of AF in some groups of younger immigrants to enable early diagnosis.
