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

purpose of reviewThis review aims to evaluate the major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE) and antithrombotic approaches in concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) and atherosclerosis. RECENT

findingsMACE in concomitant AF and atherosclerosis has been evaluated in recent studies. A recent retrospective study of 2670 patients with AF revealed that atherosclerosis burden with AF can be a marker of adverse vascular outcomes with extracranial atherosclerosis as a potent predictor of MACE. Trials to evaluate the antithrombotic approaches in concomitant atherosclerotic disease and AF has been mainly in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). AFIRE trial demonstrated that in patients with AF and stable CAD rivaroxaban alone is not inferior to rivaroxaban plus aspirin with better safety profile. Atherosclerosis is common in AF and poses additional risk to patients. Antithrombotic management of atherosclerosis in AF is not well investigated and needs further trial to identify the subgroups that benefit from more intensive antithrombotic measures.
