P-wave signal-averaged electrocardiography: Reference values, clinical correlates, and heritability in the Framingham Heart Study.
Observational study in Heart rhythm, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundP-wave signal-averaged electrocardiography (P-SAECG) quantifies atrial electrical activity. P-SAECG measures and their clinical correlates and heritability have had limited characterization in community-based cohorts.
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to (1) establish reference values; (2) identify clinical risk factors associated with P-SAECG; and (3) estimate genetic heritability for P-SAECG traits.
methodsWe performed P-SAECG in 2 generations of Framingham Heart Study participants. We performed backward elimination regression models to assess associations of clinical factors with each SAECG trait (P-wave [PW] duration, root mean square voltage in terminal 40 ms [RMS40], terminal 30 ms RMS30, terminal 20 ms RMS20, RMS PW, and PW integral). We estimated the adjusted genetic heritability of P-SAECG measures using the Sequential Oligogenic Linkage Analysis Routines (SOLAR) program.
resultsWe included 4307 participants (age 55 ± 14 years; 56% female). The reference values were derived from 1752 participants without cardiovascular risk factors. Median (2.5th percentile; 97.5th percentile) total PW duration was 118 ms (93; 146) in women and 128 ms (104; 158) in men in the reference sample, and 121 ms (94; 151) in women and 129 ms (103; 159) in the entire study cohort (broad sample). In the broad sample, after adjusting for age and sex, total PW duration was positively associated with height, weight, prevalent heart failure, history of atrial fibrillation (AF), and atrioventricular node blockers, and negatively associated with smoking, waist circumference, heart rate, and diabetes. The estimated heritability of P-SAECG traits was moderate, ranging from 11.9% for RMS30 to 24.9% for PW integral.
conclusionP-SAECG traits are associated with multiple AF-related risk factors and are moderately heritable.
