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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting millions of people worldwide and poses a significant burden to the health care system. AF screening of the general population or of a specific higher-risk population could not only lead to earlier detection of AF but also to a prompt initiation of an adequate therapy to prevent complications such as stroke or death and consecutively to a potential reduction of health care costs, especially in asymptomatic AF patients. To conduct screening programs, accessible new technology devices such as "wearables", smartwatches, and implantable event recorders provide an innovative solution. However, as data regarding screening are inconclusive, routine AF screening of the population is currently not recommended by the European Society of Cardiology. Recently published studies have indicated that anticoagulation and early rhythm control of asymptomatic AF could avoid occurrence of clinical endpoints. This article reports on the scientific results of the current literature as well as gaps of evidence and discusses possible treatment options of asymptomatic AF.
