The Relationship between Poor Pulmonary Function and Irregular Pulse in the Elderly: Findings from a Nationwide Cross-Sectional Survey in Korea.

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
Arrhythmia may be caused by reduced pulmonary function, and pulse palpation is a useful screening method for the early detection of cardiac arrhythmia. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between reduced pulmonary function and abnormal findings on pulse palpation in 2347 subjects aged ≥65 years using data from a nationwide survey. Pulse palpation was initially performed for 15 s and, if felt to be abnormal, it was performed again for 60 s. The prevalence of irregular pulse (IP) determined by the 60-second palpation was 61 (2.6%). The mean age of subjects with an IP was 73.0 (95% CI 71.7-74.3) years, and 45.8% were male. After adjustment for covariates, forced vital capacity (FVC)/predicted FVC, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV
