1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNew-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may be associated with a poor prognosis. However, whether restoring sinus rhythm (SR) at discharge in patients with ACS improves outcomes remains unknown.

methodsA total of 552 patients with ACS at an emergency department during 2011-2016 were enrolled. According to documented electrocardiography at admission and medical records, the patients were classified into without atrial fibrillation (WAF), NOAF, and prior atrial fibrillation (PAF) groups. Major adverse events (MAEs) were defined as cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, heart failure requiring hospitalization, target lesion revascularization, and stroke. The mean follow-up period of MAEs was 25 ± 15 months.

resultsCompared with the NOAF and PAF groups, the WAF group was younger and had a significantly lower heart rate, prior stroke rate, CHA

conclusionsThe patients with ACS who presented with NOAF had worse outcomes than those with PAF or WAF. The patients with NOAF whose rhythm was restored to SR at discharge were associated with better outcomes than those with AF at discharge.
