Effect of Prophylaxis of Amiodarone and Magnesium to Prevent Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Rheumatic Valve Disease Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement Surgery.
Article in Anesthesia, essays and researches. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
contextMaintenance of sinus rhythm is superior to the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with rheumatic valve disease undergoing mitral valve replacement (MVR) surgery.
aimTo evaluate the effect of prophylactic combination of intravenous (i.v.) amiodarone and magnesium sulfate (MgSO MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred and twenty patients with valvular heart disease with or without AF were randomly divided into two groups. Group I ( STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables were summarized as frequencies and percentages. Student's independent
resultsBefore surgery, AF was observed in 58.3% of patients in Group I and in 53.3% of patients in Group II (
conclusionA single combined prophylactic intraoperative dose of i.v. amiodarone and MgSO
