The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
introductionA prolonged P-wave duration (PWD) in sinus rhythm pre-ablation has been hypothesized to be a non-invasive ECG marker associated with increased atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). This systematic review and meta-analysis will assess the latest evidence on the association of prolonged PWD pre-ablation with AF recurrence after PVI. HYPOTHESIS: Prolonged PWD pre-ablation is associated with AF recurrence after PVI.
methodsThe inclusion criteria for this study are all cohort studies that assess prolonged PWD on ECG during sinus rhythm pre-ablation and its association with AF recurrence in post-PVI patients.
resultsThere were 1,482 patients with AF post-PVI from twelve cohort studies. The cut-off points for prolonged PWD ranges from >120 ms to >150 ms. Meta-analysis on six studies showed a pooled mean difference of PWD in subjects with recurrent AF and non-recurring AF was 12.54 ms [8.76-16.31], p < 0.001; I
conclusionThese findings suggest that prolonged PWD with a cutoff of >120 ms to >150 ms in sinus rhythm before ablation may be associated with AF recurrence after PVI regardless of age, gender, left atrial size, and the presence of structural heart disease. We also encouraged further studies that investigate predicting models to include prolonged PWD as one of their parameters.
