Oral Anticoagulation in Patients With Atrial High-Rate Episodes: Focus on Clinical Implications.

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
Background Although previous studies showed that atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs) are associated with a higher risk of developing incident atrial fibrillation (AF) and thromboembolic events, their clinical significance is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to define whether there is any clinical impact on the occurrence of ischemic and hemorrhagic events in patients with AHREs and initiation of oral anticoagulation (OAC). Methodology Patients with AHREs who had received cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs, i.e., dual-chamber pacemaker [PM] or implantable cardioverter defibrillator [ICD]) were included in the study. OAC initiation was decided by the assistant doctor. Patients who received OACs comprised the OAC group, while patients who were not referred for OAC initiation were included in the control group. The primary endpoint was the time to the event of the occurrence of thromboembolic events (thromboembolic event-free survival). Results A total of 154 individuals (77 in each group) were enrolled in the study, with a mean age of 72.5 years. The mean follow-up period for the OAC group was 19.1 months and for the control group, 18.9 months (
