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
backgroundNonagenarians (NG), individuals aged ≥ 90 years, constitute an increasing proportion of hospitalizations presenting with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, not much is known about demographics, clinical outcomes, and trends of hospitalizations. Therefore, we analyzed data about hospitalizations and clinical outcomes among NGs with AF over ten years from 2005 to 2014 using a publically available database, the National Inpatient Sample.
methodsAll hospitalizations and major outcomes of subjects ≥ 90 years with a primary diagnosis of AF (ICD-9-CM code 427.31) over a ten-year period were assessed in this study by multivariate logistic regression analysis.
resultsThere were more females than males (176,268 females, 51,384 males) in this analysis. The number of hospitalizations for AF among NG increased by 50% (17,295 in 2005 to 25,830 in 2014). Males were more likely to undergo cardioversion (6.14% of males
conclusionsFrom 2005 to 2014, AF-related hospitalizations among NGs increased, more so in in females population, mortality trends improved, rates of anticoagulation increased, and cardioversions increased. Despite the decreasing trend of in-hospital mortality since 2005, the relatively high mortality rate in males warrants further studies.
