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

backgroundDetermine a predictive value of interatrial block (IAB) on atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation outcomes in obese patients.

methodsMedical records were retrospectively reviewed for 205 consecutive patients with body mass indices (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m

resultsThe mean BMI was 36.9 ± 5.7 kg/m

conclusionsIAB is highly prevalent in patients with obesity and AF. Partial IAB, defined as PWD ≥ 120 ms, and advanced IAB with evidence of biphasic P-wave in inferior leads were independently associated with increased risk of recurrent arrhythmia after AF ablation. Its predictive value is independent of other traditional risk factors, LAVI, or use of AADs.
