Association Between the Timing of Atrial Fibrillation Detection and Functional Outcome Following Mechanical Thrombectomy.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundAtrial fibrillation detected after stroke (AFDAS) refers to the identification of newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) following an ischemic stroke in patients without known AF (KAF). The objective of this study was to compare the functional outcomes of patients diagnosed with AFDAS and those with KAF who underwent mechanical thrombectomy. METHODS AND
resultsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy and with either new AF diagnosed during hospitalization or KAF. We compared the baseline characteristics, clinical, and procedure-related variables between those with AFDAS and KAF. The primary outcome was the achievement of functional independence, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 2, at 3 months after stroke. Of the 252 patients, 101 (40.1%) were classified into the AFDAS group. The KAF group exhibited a higher rate of stroke history compared with the AFDAS group (32.5% versus 13.9%;
conclusionsAFDAS demonstrated a positive association with functional independence in patients with stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy and were finally diagnosed to have AF during hospitalization. The observed disparities in occlusion site, intractable thrombus, and history of previous stroke may have contributed to these findings.
