Effect of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery: A Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical cardiology, 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
backgroundA meta-analysis study was conducted to determine how to predict the effect of postoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery. HYPOTHESIS: Long-term mortality and cardiovascular morbidity are linked to postoperative atrial fibrillation.
methodUntil August 2024, a comprehensive literature study was completed, and 3486 connected studies were revised. The 38 selected studies included 241 299 cardiac surgery participants at the beginning of the study. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to look at the effect of atrial fibrillation after heart surgery using two-sided methods and either a fixed or random model.
resultsIndividuals with cardiac surgery with postoperative atrial fibrillation had significantly higher mortality at 1 year (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.12-1.72, p < 0.001), mortality at 5 years (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.33-1.94, p < 0.001), mortality at 10 years (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.39-1.87, p < 0.001), and overall stroke (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.34-1.94, p < 0.001) compared to without postoperative atrial fibrillation.
conclusionsIndividuals with cardiac surgery with postoperative atrial fibrillation had significantly higher mortality at 1 year, mortality at 5 years, mortality at 10 years, and overall stroke compared to those without postoperative atrial fibrillation. To validate this discovery, more research and caution must be implemented when interacting with its values.
