Association between serum albumin levels and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation by gender in a Chinese population: a case-control study.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundHypoalbuminemia is linked to the emergence of cardiovascular events. However, there is an unclear association between serum albumin (ALB) and gender in paroxysmal AF patients. This retrospective study aimed to explore the association between ALB levels and paroxysmal AF by gender in a Chinese population.
methodsThis study included patients with paroxysmal AF who were hospitalized consecutively in China from January 2019 to September 2021. Controls with sinus rhythm and without paroxysmal AF were matched (2:1) to cases by gender and age. Pearson correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between ALB and blood lipid profiles, multivariate regression models were performed to investigate the association between ALB and paroxysmal AF.
resultsThere were 305 patients with paroxysmal AF and 610 patients with controls included in this study. Low ALB in male with AF patients were significantly associated with paroxysmal AF (OR = 0.889, 95% CI 0.832-0.950). ALB was positively correlated with triglyceride (TG) (r = 0.212, p < 0.001), total cholesterol (TC) (r = 0.381, p = 0.002), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (r = 0.263, p < 0.001), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (r = 0.329, p < 0.001).
conclusionLow ALB in male patients is significantly associated with paroxysmal AF in a Chinese population. Monitoring for hypoalbuminemia in men might help reduce the incidence of paroxysmal AF.
