Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.
Review in Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved significantly over the last 20 years and even more so in the last 5 years. There are now many clinically successful surgical procedures focused on eliminating AF and AF-related stroke. This review discusses the current types of surgical AF procedures, including minimally invasive and hybrid, and may assist clinicians in understanding the various surgical AF options available to patients today.
