Review in Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common and prevalent form of arrhythmia. It is associated with various morbidities with stroke being the major hazard. Since AF is often reported to be asymptomatic, many individuals remain unaware of their condition and may not receive the requisite treatment. Hence, screening for AF has gained substantial attention recently. Growing advancement in technology has paved way for numerous approaches for AF screening using medical-prescribed devices as well as consumer electronic devices. However, there still lies scope for large-scale randomized trials which would explore additional aspects associated with AF. This review very concisely summarizes AF, screening, present technology, current literature and clinical studies associated with it.
