A novel predictive model for late recurrence after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation using left appendage volume measured by cardiac computed tomography.

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
Larger left atrial appendage (LAA) volume is associated with a higher risk of late recurrence (LR) in patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is unclear whether LAA volume predicts LR, independent of established risk factors. We sought to evaluate the value of LAA volume in predicting LR after RFCA for AF and to develop a score prediction model including LAA volume for these patients. We retrospectively studied 992 patients who underwent RFCA for AF and cardiac computed tomography before RFCA at a single center. At 3 years after RFCA, 362 patients (36.5 %) experienced recurrence. The multivariate Cox regression model showed that age ≥ 75 years (10 points), non-paroxysmal AF (9 points), diabetes mellitus (4 points), left atrial volume index (1 point per 10 ml/m
