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

backgroundThe outcome of catheter ablation could probably differ among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), depending on age and AF type. We aimed to investigate the difference in predictors of outcome after catheter ablation for AF among the patient categories divided by age and AF type. METHODS AND

resultsA total of 396 patients with AF (mean age 65.69 ± 11.05 years, 111 women [28.0%]) who underwent catheter ablation from January 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. We divided the patients into four categories: patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF) or persistent AF (PeAF) who were 75 years or younger (≤75 years) or older than 75 years (>75 years). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that patients with PAF aged ≤75 years had the lowest AF recurrence among the four groups (log-rank test, p = .0103). In the patients with PAF aged ≤75 years (N = 186, 46.7%), significant factors associated with recurrence were female sex (p = .008) and diabetes (p = .042). In the patients with PeAF aged ≤75 years (N = 142, 35.9%), the only significant factor associated with no recurrence was medication with a renin-angiotensin system inhibitor (p = .044). In the patients with PAF aged >75 years (N = 53, 14.4%), diabetes was significantly associated with AF recurrence (p = .021). No significant parameters were found in the patients with PeAF aged >75 years (N = 15, 4.1%).

conclusionsOur findings indicate that the risk factors for AF recurrence after catheter ablation differed by age and AF type.
