Risk factors of atrial fibrillation complicated with cognitive impairment and the relationship between cardiac function parameters and the degree of cognitive impairment.

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
objectiveTo explore the risk factors of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) with Cognitive Impairment (CI) and to analyze the relationship between cardiac function parameters and the degree of CI in patients.
methods120 AF patients were selected, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to distinguish between AF patients with and without CI. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the impact of sociodemographic data, disease-related data, and clinical data on risk factors for AF with CI. Pearson's method was used to analyze the correlation between cardiac function parameters and cognitive function scores in AF patients.
resultsThere were 89 patients with CI and 31 patients without CI, and the MoCA scores of patients with CI were lower than those in patients without CI. Age, occupational status, educational level, combined smoking history, drinking history, and heart failure, as well as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, C-reactive protein, free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, and D-dimer were risk factors for the patient with CI. Left atrial diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, and left atrial maximum volume in patients with CI were higher than those in patients without CI, and left ventricular ejection fraction and peak early diastolic velocity/peak late-diastolic mitral velocity ratio were lower.
conclusionThe cardiac function parameters of patients are closely related to attention, orientation, memory, visuospatial, and executive ability. Cardiac function parameters were closely related to cognitive functions.
