Relationship between postoperative atrial fibrillation and its recurrence after lung resection.

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
purposeAtrial fibrillation (AF) frequently occurs after pulmonary resection and is commonly referred to as postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). This study explored whether or not POAF is related to the recurrence of AF in the chronic phase.
methodsA total of 1311 consecutive patients without a history of AF who underwent lung resection based on a diagnosis of lung tumor were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsPOAF occurred in 46 patients (3.5%), and a logistic regression analysis revealed that the age (p < 0.05), history of hyperthyroidism (p < 0.05), and major lung resection (p < 0.05) were independent predictors of POAF. AF events in the chronic phase were observed in 15 (32.6%) and 45 (3.6%) patients with and without POAF, respectively. A Cox regression analysis revealed that POAF was the only independent predictor of AF development in the chronic phase (p < 0.01). The Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank test revealed that the cumulative incidence of AF in the chronic phase was significantly higher in patients with POAF than in those without POAF (p < 0.01).
conclusionPOAF was an independent predictor for AF in the chronic phase after lung resection. Further investigations including cases of catheter ablation and optimal medical therapy for patients with POAF after lung resection are needed.
