Risk of atrial fibrillation development in adolescent patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
There is increasing evidence linking chronic inflammation to the initiation and continuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), namely (Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are chronic systemic inflammatory disorders with both intestinal and extra-intestinal manifestations. Atrial electromechanical delay (EMD) has been known as an early marker of AF. The objective of this study was to evaluate the atrial electromechanical properties in children and adolescents with IBD during remission. One hundred IBD patients aged 12-17 years (50 with CD and 50 with UC) in remission state and 100 healthy controls were recruited for the study. Atrial electromechanical properties were measured using transthoracic echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging, and simultaneous surface ECG recording. Interatrial EMD, left intra-atrial, and right intra-atrial EMD were calculated. IBD patients in remission state have significantly prolonged left and right intra-atrial EMD and interatrial EMD compared to healthy controls (P = 0.03, P = 0.02, and P = 0.01 respectively). No statistical difference was observed between CD and UC in terms of inter- and intra-atrial EMDs. Conclusion: Atrial EMD is increased in pediatric patients with IBD indicating the increased risk of AF development. Measurement of atrial EMD parameters might be used to predict the risk of the development of AF in pediatric patients with IBD. What is Known: • There is increasing evidence linking chronic inflammation to the initiation and continuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). • Inflammatory bowel diseases are chronic systemic inflammatory disorders with both intestinal and extra-intestinal manifestations. • Atrial electromechanical delay (EMD) has been reported as an early marker of AF. What is New: • Atrial EMD is increased in pediatric patients with IBD indicating the increased risk of AF development. • Measurement of atrial EMD parameters might be used to predict the risk of the development of AF in pediatric patients with IBD.
