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

aimTo investigate the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume and distribution and the parameters of global cardiac and regional left atrial (LA) sympathetic activity in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND

resultsThe data of the 45 consecutive patients scheduled for an index catheter ablation (CA) for AF were analyzed. Total and peri-atrial EAT volumes were measured by cardiac CT. Parameters of global cardiac sympathetic activity and discrete sympathetic regions around LA were assessed by

conclusionPeri-atrial EAT volume is associated with regions of sympathetic activity corresponding to typical anatomical locations of LA GP. The WR was associated with reduced risk of AF recurrence while LV myocardial SDS was linked to increased hazards of AF recurrence.
