Association of Left Atrial Appendage Voltage with Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Acta Cardiologica Sinica, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundLow atrial voltage is associated with an increased risk of stroke. The relationship between left atrial appendage voltage (LAAV) and ischemic stroke remains unknown. Low LAAV may predict the prevalence of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
methodsA total of 1108 patients with AF referred for catheter ablation were consecutively included from January 2015 to May 2018. The patients were divided into stroke and control groups based on previous ischemic stroke by neuroimaging criteria. LAAV was measured with a circular mapping catheter in sinus rhythm after ablation. Variables were compared, and logistic regression was performed to assess the relationship between LAAV and stroke.
resultsA total of 120 patients (10.8%) had a history of ischemic stroke. The patients in the stroke group were older and had higher percentages of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and coronary/vascular disease. The CHA
conclusionsLower LAAV in AF patients was associated with increased ischemic stroke prevalence. Whether LAAV is related to incident stroke requires further studies.
