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.

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.

Abstract

Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a common risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). Conduction abnormalities (CA) during sinus rhythm (SR) across Bachmann's bundle (BB) are associated with AF development. The study goal is to compare electrophysiological characteristics across BB during SR between patients with ischemic (IHD) and/or VHD either with or without ischemic heart disease ((I)VHD), with/without AF history using high-resolution intraoperative epicardial mapping. In total, 304 patients (IHD:
