The autonomic nervous system in atrial fibrillation-pathophysiology and non-invasive assessment.
Review in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in atrial fibrillation pathophysiology. Parasympathetic hyperactivity result in a shortening of the action potential duration, a reduction of the conduction wavelength, and as such facilitates reentry in the presence of triggers. Further, autonomic remodeling of atrial myocytes in AF includes progressive sympathetic hyperinnervation by increased atrial sympathetic nerve density and sympathetic atrial nerve sprouting. Knowledge on the pathophysiological process in AF, including the contribution of the autonomic nervous system, may in the near future guide personalized AF management. This review focuses on the role of the autonomic nervous system in atrial fibrillation pathophysiology and non-invasive assessment of the autonomic nervous system.
