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

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder that has been shown to be associated with a significant increase in stroke and systemic embolism risk. The left atrial appendage (LAA) is a finger-like extension originating from the left atrium; the formation of thrombus in LAA is the main reason of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). This study is aimed at finding out the risk of left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Method: We retrospectively examined the clinic and left atrial computer tomography angiography (CTA) features of patients assessed in Zhengzhou No. 7 People's Hospital between January 2020 and January 2021 derivation. Student's Result: Of 480 patients included in the analysis, LAAT was found in approximately 9.2% of all patients. Univariate demographic predictors of LAAT included left atrium top and bottom diameter (LTD), left atrial appendage depth (LAAD), CHA2DS2-VASc, tachycardia bradycardia syndrome (TBS), and nonparoxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). In a multiple logistic regression analysis, the independent predictors of thrombus were LAAD > 23.45 mm (odds ratio: 4.216, 95% CI: 1.869-9.510, Conclusion: In NVAF patients with LAAT, evidence suggested that larger LAAD, non-PAF, and TBS present a high risk of LAAT. This is the first report demonstrating that the LAAD and TBS are associated with LAAT in patients with NVAF.
