The influence of sex on early post-operative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery.
Article in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundEarly post-operative atrial fibrillation (EPOAF) occurs more frequently in male (M) patients. However, most patients included in EPOAF studies were also M. The aim of the present study was to compare, in a matched M and F population, the occurrence of EPOAF episodes and EPOAF characteristics using continuous rhythm monitoring (CRM) during the first five post-operative days.
methodsOur study population consisted of 30 F patients matched with 30 M patients admitted for elective cardiac surgery. After cardiac surgery, patients were continuously monitored for a maximum of 5 days, and the burden of EPOAF episodes was quantified.
resultsNo significant differences in the onset, number, burden, total duration, shortest, median and longest EPOAF episode were detected between M and F patients. However, EPOAF occurred more frequently on the third post-operative day (F: 16 vs. M: 7; p = .013).
conclusionsExcept for the occurrence of the EPOAF on the third post-operative day. EPOAF characteristics did not differ between M and F patients.
