Factors associated with atrial fibrillation in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Diabetology international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases cardiovascular complications and mortality in patients with diabetes. Diabetes is a risk factor for AF; however, risk factors for AF among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) remain unknown, especially among Asian people. We clarified the prevalence of AF, regardless of type (i.e., paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent) in Japanese patients with T2D and clarified factors associated with AF. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Fujiidera Municipal Hospital (Osaka, Japan). Patients with T2D ( Results: The prevalence of AF among patients with T2D was 5.9%; it became higher as age increased and tended to be higher in men than in women. The prevalence became higher as albuminuria or proteinuria progressed and as the eGFR decreased. Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that older age, male sex, and reduced eGFR were independently and significantly associated with the coexistence of AF. However, multiple logistic regression analysis revealed no significant relationships between AF and the presence of albuminuria or proteinuria. Conclusions: Older age, male sex, and reduced eGFR were associated with AF in Japanese patients with T2D.
