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

backgroundStudies have suggested that atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with rheumatic diseases (RD) may be due to inflammation.

aimTo determine the highest association of AF among hospitalized RD patients and to determine morbidity and mortality associated with AF in hospitalized patients with RD.

methodsThe National inpatient sample database from October 2015 to December 2017 was analyzed to identify hospitalized patients with RD with and without AF. A subgroup analysis was performed comparing outcomes of AF among different RD.

resultsThe prevalence of AF was 23.9% among all patients with RD (

conclusionA highest association of AF was found with gout followed by vasculitis, and polymyalgia rheumatica when compared to other RD. Mortality was two-fold higher in patients with RD with AF.
