Postoperative QRS duration to left ventricular end-diastolic diameter ratio as a predictor for the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation in cardiac surgery: A single-center prospective study.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and aims: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a frequent complication following cardiac surgery and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Our study aimed at determining the clinical and echocardiographic predictors of POAF in patients with cardiac surgery and management of this group of patients may improve their outcome. Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients from the department of cardiovascular surgery in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from October 23, 2020 to October 30, 2022, without a history of atrial fibrillation. Cox regression was used to identify significant predictors of POAF. Results: A total of 217 patients (79 [36.41 %] were female, 63.96 ± 12.32 years) were included. 88 (40.55 %) patients met the criteria for POAF. Cox regression showed that preoperative left atrial diameter (LAD) (HR: 1.040, 95 % CI 1.008-1.073, p = 0.013) and postoperative QRS/LVEDD (HR: 0.398, 95 % CI 0.193-0.824, p = 0.013) and E/e' (HR: 1.029, 95 % CI 1.002-1.057，p = 0.033) were predictors of POAF. Conclusion: Preoperative LAD and postoperative QRS/LVEDD and E/e' were predictors of POAF in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Trial registration site: http://www.chictr.org.cn.
