Insertable cardiac monitors for detection of atrial fibrillation after cryptogenic stroke: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundIn recent years, the implantable cardiac monitors (ICM) have enhanced the recognition ability of atrial fibrillation (AF), which makes ICM have a new application in AF detection. We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the total incidence of newly found AF detected by ICM after cryptogenic stroke and to evaluate the factors related to the detection of AF.
methodsA literature search was conducted in the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases until March 1, 2020. Studies that reported the detection rate of AF using ICM in cryptogenic stroke patients with negative initial AF screening were analyzed.
resultsA total of 23 studies were included. The overall proportion of AF detected by ICM in cryptogenic stroke patients was 25% (95% confidence interval [CI], 22-29%). The rate of AF detected by ICM was independently related to both cardiac monitoring time (coefficient = 0.0003; 95% CI, 0.0001-0.0005; P = 0.0001) and CHA
conclusionsThe longer the time of ICM monitoring after cryptogenic stroke, the higher the detection rate of AF. Further research is still needed to determine the optimal duration of long-term cardiac monitoring.
