Noise Exposure in the Workplace, Genetic Susceptibility, and Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation: A Prospective Cohort Study.
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 2 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
backgroundNo study explored the association of noise exposure in the workplace and genetic susceptibility with incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to assess the separate and joint relationship of noise exposure in the workplace and genetic susceptibility with the risk of AF. METHODS AND
resultsWe included 167 577 participants without AF at baseline in UK Biobank. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the separate and joint association of noise exposure in the workplace and genetic susceptibility with the risk of AF. During a median follow-up of 11.83 years, we observed 9355 AF cases. Compared with no noise exposure in the workplace, the hazard ratios (HRs) and were 1.08 (95% CI, 0.99-1.18) for noise exposure in the workplace of <1 year, 1.03 (95% CI, 0.95-1.12) for noise exposure in the workplace of around 1 to 5 years, and 1.08 (95% CI, 1.02-1.14) for noise exposure in the workplace of >5 years, respectively, after adjusting for potential confounders. Genetic risk was positively associated with AF, compared with low genetic risk (tertile 1), the HRs were 1.50 (95% CI, 1.41-1.59) for medium genetic risk (tertile 2) and 2.51 (95% CI, 2.38-2.65) for high genetic risk (tertile 3). However, no interaction between noise exposure in the workplace and genetic susceptibility was observed (
conclusionsLong-term noise exposure in the workplace is positively associated with a higher incidence of AF regardless of genetic background.
