Associations of the fibrosis-4 index with left atrial low-voltage areas and arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation: cardio-hepatic interaction in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: The relationship between liver fibrosis and left atrial (LA) remodeling in atrial fibrillation (AF) remains uncertain. We examined the associations between the fibrosis-4 (FIB4) index, an indicator of liver fibrosis, and both LA low-voltage areas (LVAs) on electroanatomic mapping and AF recurrence postablation. Methods: We recruited 343 patients who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) or cryoballoon ablation (CBA) for AF. First, the association between the FIB4 index and LA LVAs (<0.5 mV) was evaluated in RFCA using electroanatomic mapping ( Results: Patients with a FIB4 index ≥1.3 had a higher prevalence of LA LVAs (>5 cm Conclusion: The FIB4 index was a novel predictor of the existence of LA LVAs on electroanatomic mapping and AF recurrence after CBA.
