[Atrial fibrillation and impairment of cognition-importance for geriatrics].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
According to the current study situation an independent association between atrial fibrillation and cognitive impairment is likely. Several pathomechanisms seem to be causative: embolisms in particular appear to cause clinically inapparent cerebral infarction and thus a deterioration of cognitive status but hypoperfusion and possibly subsequent atrophy of the gray matter can also play a role. There are indications but not yet sufficient evidence for protective effects of anticoagulation, rhythm control and possibly frequency regulation.
