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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) cases are expected to increase over the next several decades, due to the rise in the elderly population. One promising treatment option for AF is catheter ablation, which is increasing in use. We investigated the hospital readmissions data for AF patients undergoing catheter ablation, and used machine learning models to explore the risk factors behind these readmissions. We analyzed data from the 2013 Nationwide Readmissions Database on cases with AF, and determined the relative importance of factors in predicting 30-day readmissions for AF with catheter ablation. Various machine learning methods, such as
