Association of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence with Right Coronary Atherosclerosis and Increased Left Arterial Epicardial Fat Following Catheter Ablation-Results of a Multimodality Study.

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
backgroundIdentification of predictors for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) can lead to better long-term results. Our aim was to investigate the association between novel CT imaging markers reflecting the severity of coronary atherosclerosis and the risk of recurrence following PVI.
methodsThis study included 80 patients with paroxysmal/persistent AF who underwent PVI. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1-23 patients with recurrence and Group 2-57 patients without recurrence.
resultsPatients with recurrence presented with a more enlarged left atrial diameter and reduced left ventricle EF, as assessed by echocardiography. Elevated calcium scores and right coronary artery (RCA) stenosis were correlated with a higher risk of AF recurrence (25.38 ± 4.1% vs. 9.76 ± 2.32%,
conclusionsRCA stenosis, together with atrial volumes and EAT-AS evaluated by CCTA, is associated with the risk of AF recurrence following PVI.
