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

backgroundAtrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia and it is associated with a higher risk of mortality and morbidity. The goal of this study was to assess the correlation between physical activity (PA) and atrial high rate episodes (AHREs) detected by cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).

methodsWe prospectively collected data from 81 patients from March 2017 to June 2019. Device-detected PA (hours per day) through an accelerometer and occurrence/burden of AHREs were determined at each outpatient clinic visit. Modest AHREs and long AHREs were defined as at least 1 episode of AHREs lasting ≥ 12 hours and 24 hours, respectively. The percentage of total AHREs in the follow-up period was defined as the burden of AHREs. Generalized estimating equations were used to explore the association between PA and occurrence/burden of AHREs to account for repeated measures within a participant.

resultsThe patients had 336 follow-up visits (mean 4.1 visits each). The prevalence rates of device-detected modest AHREs and long AHREs were 4.8% and 3.9%, respectively. More PA (hours per day) was associated with a lower risk of modest AHREs [odds ratio (OR) 0.671, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.452-0.997, p = 0.048] and long AHREs (OR 0.536, 95% CI 0.348-0.824, p = 0.004) after adjusting for age, sex, and basic characteristics. More PA had a trend of association with fewer AHREs (β -0.255, 95% CI -0.512 to 0.001, p = 0.051).

conclusionsMore PA was associated with a lower risk of AHREs detected by CIEDs in older patients. PA may reduce the risk of AHREs.
