Effect of atrial fibrillation in Asian patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents for stable coronary artery disease: Results from a Korean nationwide study.

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
Although the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are increasing in Asia, there is a paucity of data concerning the effect of AF in Asian patients undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stents (DESs). Furthermore, the majority of previous studies investigating the effect of AF on prognosis following PCI have exclusively evaluated patients with myocardial infarction (MI). We aimed to evaluate the effect of AF on clinical outcomes of Asian patients undergoing PCI with DES for coronary artery disease (CAD) excluding acute MI.From national health insurance claims data in South Korea, a total of 45,288 patients aged 18 years or older without a known history of CAD, who underwent PCI with DES for the diagnosis of CAD excluding acute MI between 2011 and 2015, were enrolled. Based on the presence or absence of a history of AF at baseline, patients were categorized into the AF group (n = 1715, 3.8%) and no-AF group (n = 43,573, 96.2%). Outcomes including all-cause death, the composite outcome of all-cause death/MI/coronary revascularization, and stroke were compared between 2 groups using a propensity-score-matched analysis.After propensity-score matching, 1709 matched pairs were obtained. During the follow-up period (mean, 2.2 years), the incidence of all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR] 1.117, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.885-1.411, P = .35) and the composite outcome of all-cause death/MI/coronary revascularization (HR 1.004, 95% CI 0.846-1.192, P = .97) were not significantly different between 2 groups. However, the incidence of stroke was significantly increased in the AF group (HR 1.983, 95% CI 1.474-2.667, P < .001).In Asian patients undergoing PCI for stable CAD, a history of AF was not associated with mortality, but was associated with increased risk of stroke.
