Atrial Lesion and Diastolic Dysfunction May Be Associated With Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Cardiac Amyloidosis.
Article in Circulation reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia associated with cardiac amyloidosis (CA). Diastolic dysfunction and atrial lesions have been reported in patients with AF fibrillation. We aimed to evaluate the diastolic function and atrial lesions in patients with CA and AF. Methods and Results: We included 27 patients (mean age 72 years) with biopsy-confirmed CA. We analyzed the average E/e' as diastolic function using echocardiography and atrial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) as an atrial lesion using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). We compared these parameters among 20 patients with sinus rhythm (SR) and 7 with AF. Echocardiography examination showed that average E/e' were larger in the AF group than in the SR group (average E/e': AF, 21.3 [14.5-30.3]; SR, 14.2 [10.3-16.9]; P=0.0053). CMRI demonstrated that atrial LGE was more severe in the AF group than in the SR group (AF, 7/7 [100%]; SR, 11/21 [52.4%]; P=0.00228). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that average E/e' demonstrated significant association with AF in all patients (odds ratio 1.24; [95% confidence interval 1.03-1.51]; P=0.0251). Conclusions: AF may be associated with atrial lesions and diastolic dysfunction in patients with CA.
