Association between heart and dementia… keep an eye on the left atrium.
Article in European heart journal supplements : journal of the European Society of Cardiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. The mechanisms are not well known, but they are probably multifactorial and involve atrial myopathy, cardio-embolism, cerebral hypoperfusion, and comorbidities (systemic vascular sclerosis, disease of the small cerebral vessels, inflammation, etc.). Atrial fibrillation therapy could have a protective effect on dementia through diversified actions: (i) prevention of left atrial remodelling; (ii) prevention of cardio-embolism and silent (and not) cerebral infarcts; (iii) improvement of cardiac output and cerebral perfusion. Randomized trials will be needed to clarify the links between left atrium and dementia and to identify the most appropriate therapeutic strategies.
