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

Background Coronary artery disease risk factors are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary endothelial dysfunction (CED). We hypothesized that CED is associated with increased risk of incident AF among patients with chest pain and nonobstructive coronary artery disease. Methods and Results Three hundred patients with chest pain, nonobstructive coronary artery disease, and no history of AF underwent intracoronary acetylcholine infusion for evaluation of baseline epicardial (decrease in mid-left anterior descending coronary artery diameter in response to acetylcholine) and microvascular (<50% increase in coronary blood flow in response to acetylcholine) CED. Primary outcome was incident AF over a mean follow-up period of 10.5±5.5 years. Mean age was 53.3±10.8 years, and 70% were women. Baseline clinical and echocardiographic characteristics were similar between patients with CED (n=256) and those with normal endothelial function (n=44). Overall, 35 of 300 (12%) patients developed AF, among whom 34 of 35 (97%) had CED at baseline. Compared with normal endothelial function, the presence of CED was associated with 11% increased absolute risk and 5.8-fold increased relative risk of incident AF. Moreover, CED (odds ratio, 3.87; 95% CI, 1.27-47.0) and increased (>34 mL/m
