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 the most common sustained arrhythmia worldwide and has a strong association with heart failure (HF). It often remains unclear if HF is the cause or consequence of AF due to the complexity of the processes that are involved in both the perpetuation of AF and the development of HF. To date, two therapeutic strategies are accepted as the standard of care in AF patients with heart failure. Rhythm control aims to permanently restore sinus rhythm, whereas a rate-control strategy aims to slow ventricular rate without the termination of AF. In the last 5 years a tremendous number of important studies have been published investigating the optimal therapeutic strategy in HF patients. This review highlights the important studies with respect to the involvement of AF in promoting left-ventricular dysfunction and discusses the optimal strategy in HF patients suffering from AF.
