High Burden of Premature Ventricular Complex Increases the Risk of New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background High burden of premature ventricular complex (PVC) leads to increased cardiovascular mortality. A recent nationwide population-based study demonstrated that PVC is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the relationship between PVC burden and new-onset AF has not been investigated. The purpose of the study is to elucidate whether PVC burden is associated with new-onset AF. Methods and Results We designed a single-center, retrospective, large population-based cohort study to evaluate the role of PVC burden and new-onset AF in Taiwan. Patients who were AF naïve with PVC were divided into the low burden group (<1000/day) and moderate-to-high burden group (≥1000/day) based on the 24-h Holter ECG report. New-onset AF was defined as a new or first detectable event of either a persistent or paroxysmal AF. A total of 16 030 patients who were AF naïve and underwent 24-h Holter ECG monitoring were enrolled in this study, with a mean follow-up time of 973 days. A propensity score-matched analysis demonstrated that the moderate-to-high burden PVC group had a higher risk of developing new-onset AF than that of the low burden PVC group (4.91% versus 2.73%,
