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

Physicians have been mesmerized by a beating heart and its relationship to the peripheral pulse since the ancient times. Although William Harvey in 1628 was credited as the first to describe "fibrillation of the auricles," chaotic irregularity of the pulse was acknowledged by some as early as in the antiquity. In fact, a close examination of history may reveal a description of cardiac arrhythmias long before the era of modern medicine.
