Risk of atrial fibrillation in patients with pneumoconiosis: A nationwide study in Taiwan.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundTo investigate the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) among subjects with pneumoconiosis using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. HYPOTHESIS: Pneumoconiosis patients are at an increased risk of AF.
methodsA total of 12 209 pneumoconiosis patients were in the exposure cohort. Patients without pneumoconiosis were included as the comparison cohort. Both cohorts were matched by gender, age, comorbidity, and index year in a 1:1 manner. Multivariable cox proportional hazard model was used to calculate the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) after adjustment for age, sex, and all comorbidities.
resultsThe risk of AF in pneumoconiosis patients was 1.30-fold higher than that of controls (95% CI = 1.17-1.44) was the key finding.
conclusionsPneumoconiosis is associated with increased risk of incident AF.
