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

objectiveTo retrospectively identify risk factors and the prognosis for new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after implantation of dual-chamber pacemakers in elderly patients.

methodsConsecutive patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent their first implantation of a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from October 2013 to May 2016 were enrolled. Their complete programming and follow-up data were recorded. Follow-up end points included new-onset AF and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.

resultsAltogether, 322 patients were enrolled, with new-onset AF observed in 79 (24.5%) during their follow-up. Multivariable analysis identified four independent predictors of new-onset AF in elderly patients after pacemaker implantation: hypertension (HR = 3.040, 95% CI: 1.09-3.05,

conclusionHypertension, age, left atrial enlargement, and high ventricular pacing rate were independent predictors of new-onset AF in elderly patients after implantation of a permanent pacemaker. New-onset AF increased the risk for ischemic stroke.
