Establishing Atrial Fibrillation Clinics: If not now, When?
Article in International journal of cardiology. Cardiovascular risk and prevention, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesAtrial Fibrillation (AFib) is the most common arrhythmia, associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. It affects 8% population and its incidence rises with age. The consequences of untreated or poorly treated Afib are grave, therefore, appropriate management of this condition should occupy high priority. DISCUSSION: AFib clinic provides a prompt, well-organized, and conclusive approach to managing affected patients. The essence of such a set-up lays in providing frequent monitoring to the patient in well-equipped centres with specialized doctors and trained staff. Worldwide AFib clinics have shown evidence of morbidity, mortality, and cost-benefits.
conclusionIn developing countries such as Pakistan with less budget granted to health care, specialized AFib clinics could save cost, besides providing better health care outcomes to the patients. It is crucial to establish such focused AFib care centres urgently.
