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

backgroundIn patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs) are associated with an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) and thromboembolism. We report here the characteristics of "real-world" patients that may be associated with the occurrence of AHREs.

methodsThis was an observational, cross-sectional, data collection study. Data of 234 patients with dual-chamber CIEDs, who visited our clinic over a period of 3 months, were evaluated. Occurrence of AHRE was defined as atrial tachyarrhythmia with an atrial rate of ≥180 beats/min lasting for ≥5 minutes. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate clinical risk factors associated with AHRE.

resultsThe mean age of the group was 66.9 ± 9.95 years, and 25% were females. AHREs were recorded in 48 (21%) patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that hypertension (HTN) (OR = 4.14; 95% CI: 1.74-9.85;

conclusionThis real-world data report the prevalence of and risk factors associated with AHRE occurrence in Indian patients with dual-chamber CIED. Known risk factors for AF, such as HTN and diabetes mellitus, were also associated with AHRE occurrence, thus supporting the risk prediction for AF, stroke, or thromboembolism in such patient population.
