The height as an independent risk factor of atrial fibrillation: A review.
Review in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by abnormal heart rhythm. Among other well-known associations, recent studies suggest an association of AF with height. Height is related to 50 diseases spanning different body systems, AF is one of them. Since AF, a heterogeneous disease process, is influenced by structural, neural, electrical, and hemodynamic factors, height alters this process through its contribution to increasing atrial and ventricular size, leading to altered conduction patterns, autonomic dysregulation, and development of AF. Multiple underlying mechanisms associate height with AF. Apart from these indirect mechanisms, genome-wide association studies suggest the involvement of the same genes in AF and growth pathways. Tall stature is independently associated with a higher risk of AF development in healthy individuals. Since adult height is achieved much earlier than the onset of AF, protective measures can be taken in individuals with increased height to monitor, manage, and prevent the progression of AF.
