Atrial Fibrillation Better Care Pathway Adherent Care Improves Outcomes in Chinese Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in JACC. Asia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex disease associated with comorbidities and adverse outcomes. The Atrial fibrillation Better Care (ABC) pathway has been proposed to streamline the integrated and holistic approach to AF care. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate patients' characteristics, incidence of adverse events, and impact on outcomes with ABC pathway-adherent management. Methods: The study included consecutive AF patients enrolled in the nationwide, ChioTEAF registry (44 centers, 20 Chinese provinces from October 2014 to December 2018), with available data to evaluate the ABC criteria and on the 1-year follow-up. Results: A total of 3,520 patients (mean age 73.1 ± 10.4 years, 43% female) were included, of which 1,448 (41.1%) were managed as ABC pathway adherent. The latter were younger and had comparable CHA Conclusions: Adherence to the ABC pathway for integrated care in a contemporary nationwide cohort of Chinese AF patients was suboptimal. Clinical management adherent to the ABC pathway was associated with better outcomes.
