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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

methodsA total 648 of consecutive ACS patients were divided into non-AF and all-AF groups. The all-AF group was further subdivided into new-onset AF and pre-existing AF groups. We compared prognosis among these groups using the Cox regression analysis.

resultsThe mean follow-up period was 1.4 ± 1.2 years. Overall patient numbers were 538 in non-AF and 110 in all-AF groups (67 in new-onset AF and 43 in pre-existing AF). Seventy-eight all-cause deaths and 42 cardiac deaths were observed. New-onset AF had a worse prognosis than the other groups in the Kaplan-Meier analysis (

conclusionIn our study, AF was not an independent predictor of all-cause death, but new-onset AF may be associated with worse prognosis and future heart failure.
