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 this meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate the possible relationship between atrial fibrillation development after cardiac surgery and preoperative vitamin D levels.

methodsLiterature review was carried out in the PubMed, ScienceDirect and Ovid electronic databases without any limitation of time frame. Published studies which recorded the preoperative levels of vitamin D and atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery in the English language were included. The results of the studies were evaluated based on either random or fixed effect model according to the presence of heterogeneity (I

resultsA total of 1,865 articles were screened. After the article titles and abstracts were analyzed, six articles involving 769 patients which met the inclusion criteria were included. The results indicated that there was a relationship between preoperative vitamin D levels and postoperative atrial fibrillation (SMD: -0.46, 95% CI: -0.79 to -0.12; p<0.007). Heterogeneity was observed for studies conducted (I

conclusionWe concluded that low preoperative vitamin D levels were associated with the development of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery. However, there is a need for large-scale, randomized-controlled trials for preventing the heterogeneity of the results.
