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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac rhythm disorder and is associated with heart failure (HF). Cardiac imaging modalities play an important role in risk assessment and managing AF. This article reviews the use of cardiac imaging for risk assessment and to optimize treatment strategy in patients with AF and HF. First, the clinical role of echocardiography, computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance for risk stratification is provided. Second, the value of imaging in catheter ablation is reviewed, including preoperative assessment, optimizing patient selection for ablation, use during the ablation procedure, and postoperative scar assessment.
