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 denouement of remote ischemic preconditioning on new onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) post-cardiac surgery is not well-established. An updated meta-analysis of randomized control trials was performed by comparing remote ischemic preconditioning with controls and the outcome of interest was NOAF.

methodsThe systemic review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred reporting items for systemic review) and AHA (American Heart Association) guidelines

resultsTwelve randomized control trials were included in the final analysis. Remote ischemic preconditioning did not alter the risk of NOAF post-cardiac surgery [RR: 0.95, CI: 0.83-1.09,

conclusionIn conclusion, the present meta-analysis failed to provide any evidence for the beneficial effect of remote ischemic preconditioning in the prevention of NOAF.
