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

backgroundNew-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) is a common adverse outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is closely correlated with hospital stay and prognosis. In recent years, serum fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), a novel biomarker for inflammation and thrombosis, has been used to predict the severity and prognosis of coronary artery disease. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between FAR and NOAF during hospitalization after PCI in patients with AMI.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the incidence of NOAF during hospitalization and follow-up in 670 patients with AMI after PCI. Data were collected on patient age, sex, body mass index, medical history, current medication, heart failure, laboratory tests, culprit blood vessels, echocardiographic characteristics, and AMI type. The enrolled patients were divided into NOAF and non-NOAF groups. The baseline characteristics of patients in the two groups were compared, and the predictive correlation between FAR and NOAF was evaluated using logistic regression analysis and the receiver operating characteristic curve.

resultsFifty-three (7.9%) patients developed NOAF during hospitalization. The occurrence of NOAF was found to be independently associated with higher FAR besides older age, higher neutrophil count, greater left atrial size, worse Killip class upon admission, lower body mass index, lower platelet count, lower left ventricle ejection fraction, and target left circumflex artery disease. FAR exhibited a better predictive value for the occurrence of NOAF during hospitalization (area under the curve, 0.732; 95% confidence interval, 0.659-0.808).

conclusionsFAR is a robust tool for predicting NOAF risk during hospitalization in patients with AMI after PCI and has a better predictive value than serum fibrin and serum albumin levels alone.
