Association of clinical predictors with recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation.
Article in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundRecurrence rate after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) remains high, and further investigation on predictors of recurrence is needed. OBJECTS: To identify risk factors of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in patients undergoing RFCA.
methodsWe retrospectively studied 257 patients with AF who underwent RFCA preceded by transthoracic echocardiographic and pulmonary vein CT examination from 2016 to 2019. Electrocardiogram examination was performed at baseline, 1, 3, 6 months, and 1 year after RFCA. We divided patients into two groups based on AF recurrence including recurrence group (n = 79) and nonrecurrence group (n = 178). The crude and independent association between clinical variables and AF recurrence was evaluated with logistic regression analysis. Specificity and positive predictive value of relevant factors for AF recurrence were performed by ROC curve.
resultsOf these AF patients, 174 (68%) was paroxysmal AF and 83 (32%) was persistent AF. The multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that AF duration (OR = 1.008, 95% CI 1.002-1.013, p = .008), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH; OR = 2.313, 95% CI 1.031-5.192, p = .042), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; OR = 1.646, 95% CI 1.129-2.398, p = .010) were independently correlated with recurrence of AF. For predicting AF recurrence, the specificity and sensitivity of AF duration were 30.1% and 87.3%, and for LDL-C, the specificity and sensitivity of AF duration were 60.6% and 60.5%, respectively.
conclusionsAtrial fibrillation duration, PAH, and LDL-C might be independent risk factors for the recurrence of AF after RFCA.
