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

backgroundA general-population approach has been advocated to improve the screening of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). A more pragmatic alternative may be targeted screening of patients at high risk of developing AF. We assess the value of a simple clinical risk score, C

methodsThe Huawei Heart Study investigated general population screening for AF, identified using photoplethysmography (PPG)-based HUAWEI smart devices. We compared the value of a general population approach to a target screening approach between 26 October 2018 and 20 November 2019.

resultsThere were 644,124 individuals (mean age ± standard deviation, SD 34 ± 11; female 15.9%) who monitored their pulse rhythm using smart devices, among which 209,274 individuals (mean age 34 years, SD11; 10.6% female) completed the questionnaire on cardiovascular risk factors, with 739 detecting AF. Of these, 31.4% (
