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: There exist sex differences in the clinical profile, management, and outcome of atrial fibrillation (AF). Catheter ablation of AF has become a first-line therapy and has markedly made headway over the recent decades. Little is known about sex differences and temporal trends in hospitalization for catheter ablation of AF in the real-world setting. Methods: We retrospectively retrieved medical records of patients at Beijing Anzhen Hospital between January 2005 and December 2019. The patients undergoing catheter ablation of AF were enrolled. Demographical and clinical data were compared between sexes. The temporal trends of sex differences were evaluated. Results: We identified 13502 male patients (66.8%) and 6713 female patients (33.2%). The number of patients undergoing AF ablation had remarkably increased over time, but no sex differences were observed ( Conclusions: Safety of catheter ablation for AF was comparable in both sexes. In contrast, the women showed a higher CHA
