Blood Pressure Variability and Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Acute ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: The Relation with Left Atrial Electromechanical Delay - A 1-Year Follow-Up Study.

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
purposeTo investigate the association between 24-h blood pressure variability (BPV) and atrial electromechanical delay (EMD) in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who developed new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF). MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 175 STEMI patients (age 56.6 ± 10.5 years) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention were subjected to in-hospital 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring, comprehensive echocardiography, and assessment of atrial EMD. The parameters of BPV analyzed were: (a) 24-h standard deviation (SD), (b) the coefficient of variation, and (c) the average of the daytime and nighttime SDs weighted for the duration of the daytime and nighttime interval (SD
resultsBased on the median of BPV index (SD
conclusionsShort-term BPV was associated with NOAF during the 1-year follow-up in patients with STEMI. In addition, BPV was correlated significantly with atrial EMD. Herein, BPV was predicted to be an early predictor of NOAF in patients with STEMI.
