P-wave duration and interatrial conduction abnormalities in paroxysmal and persistent typical atrial flutter.

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
Functional and structural changes, the enlargement of the right atrium is the background for the development of typical atrial flutter (AFL). These changes in ECG are manifested in the morphology of the initial part of the P-wave. The aim of the study was to assess the duration and morphology of the P-wave in patients with paroxysmal and persistent AFL. The study population consisted of 131 patients with AFL, 38 women and 93 men aged 66 years (60-72), divided in 62 patients with paroxysmal and 69 with persistent AFL. P-wave duration was measured with an electrophysiological system in all leads at a paper speed of 200 mm/s. The groups did differ in terms of gender (38/24 vs. 55/14, (M/F), p=0.033). Patients with persistent AF had a longer P-wave duration - 175±26.3 ms vs. 159±22.6 ms, p=0.01, and higher creatinine concentration - 1.2±0.60 mg/dl vs. 1.08±0.68 mg/dl, p=0.007. The presence and severity of interatrial conduction block (I-none, II-partial, III-total) was related to age of the patients (60.3±12.1 vs. 64.7±-8.3 vs. 68.9±9.5 years, respectively). Patients with persistent AFL show a longer P-wave compared to paroxysmal AFL, regardless of comorbidities and antiarrhythmic drugs. The arrhythmia-related longer P-wave duration should encourage the clinicians to restore sinus rhythm earlier in order to more effectively maintain it over the long term.
