Detection of atrial fibrillation in persons aged 65 years and above using a mobile electrocardiogram device.

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
backgroundUntreated atrial fibrillation (AF) often results in increased morbidity and mortality. Opportunistic AF screening in persons aged ≥ 65 years is recommended to identify patients with AF in order to prevent AF-related complications.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of screening persons for AF with the Kardia mobile electrocardiogram device (MED) and to determine the percentage of newly detected AF cases by selective population screening in the Netherlands.
methodsPersons aged ≥ 65 years, without a medical history of AF, in nursing homes, at public events or visiting the general practitioner (GP) were approached to participate. A Kardia MED smartphone ECG (sECG) was recorded and the CHA
resultsA total of 2168 participants were screened for AF. According to the expert's interpretation, 2.5% had newly detected AF, of whom 76.4% never experienced palpitations and 89.1% had a CHA
conclusionScreening for AF using the Kardia MED is feasible and results in 2.5% newly detected AF cases. Expert interpretation of algorithm outcomes AF and unclassified is recommended.
