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

Aims: Detection of asymptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is challenging. Smartphone- or smartwatch-based photoplethysmography is efficient at detecting irregular rhythms using pulse waves but is too complex for older patients. We aimed to evaluate the detection accuracy of atrial fibrillation by a wristwatch-type continuous pulse wave monitor (PWM) in daily life. Methods and results: Patients at high risk of atrial fibrillation but with no history of atrial fibrillation ( Conclusion: The wristwatch-type PWM has shown feasibility in detecting atrial fibrillation in daily life and showed the possibility of being used as a screening tool.
