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

backgroundThere is limited "real-world" data on the prognostic role of gender in comorbid atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary artery disease (CAD).

methodsIn this post-hoc analysis of the MISOAC-AF randomized trial (NCT: 02941978), consecutive patients with AF and CAD who were discharged from the cardiology ward between 2015 and 2018 were included. Multivariable Cox-regression analysis was performed for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular (CV) mortality. Competing-risk analysis was performed for the outcomes of stroke or systemic embolism, major bleeding, AF- or heart failure (HF)-related hospitalization, adjusted for the competing risk of all-cause death.

resultsOf 1098 patients with AF, 461 patients with comorbid CAD were analyzed. Women were older and more likely to have a history of diabetes mellitus and valvular heart disease, while men were more likely to have a history of smoking or myocardial infarction. Over a median follow-up of 31 months, 143 (43.4%) men and 71 (53.7%) women died. Women were at a higher risk for all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ration [aHR] 1.65; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-2.38) and stroke or systemic embolism (aHR 3.52; 95% CI 1.46-8.49) compared to men. The risks of CV mortality, major bleeding, AF-related hospitalization, and HF-related hospitalization were similar between genders.

conclusionsIn recently hospitalized patients with AF and comorbid CAD, the female gender was independently associated with increased all-cause mortality and thromboembolic events.
