Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of new-onset myocardial infarction amongst working-age population: a propensity-matched study.
Article in Herz, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and new-onset myocardial infarction (MI) among a working-age population in an industrial city of North China.
methodsIn total 77,670 participants aged under 60 years were selected for this cohort study. Participants were divided into an AF group (n = 121) and a non-AF group (n = 74,565) based on their medical histories. Thereafter, 121 participants from the AF group were propensity-matched with 363 participants from the non-AF group. All participants were followed up from June 2006 to December 2020; new-onset MI was regarded as the endpoint of this study. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis models were designed to analyze the correlation between AF and new-onset MI.
resultsDuring the 14-year follow-up, eight cases of new-onset MI were documented in the AF group, while five cases were documented in the non-AF group. The cumulative incidence of new-onset MI in the AF group (7.40%) was markedly higher than in the non-AF group (1.41%; p < 0.001). Atrial fibrillation was associated with an increased risk of new-onset MI in both univariate analysis (hazard ratio: 5.202, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.700-15.913) and multivariable-adjusted analysis (hazard ratio: 5.335, 95% CI: 1.683-16.910).
conclusionAtrial fibrillation increased the risk of new-onset MI amongst working-age individuals in an industrial city of North China.
