Relationship between simple electrocardiographic parameter and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia, and predicting its occurrence plays a crucial role in reducing its complications. This study aimed to investigate the relation between simple P wave parameters and paroxysmal AF (pAF).
methodsIn this case-control study, demographic and laboratory data were gathered by a checklist. P wave parameters were measured in electrocardiography (ECG). The relationship between these parameters and AF in groups was analyzed.
resultsEighty individuals were included (40 patients with pAF (57.5% female, mean age = 64.9 ± 2.04) and 40 individuals without AF (57.5% female, mean age = 60.3 ± 2.01)). The P wave peak time (PWPT) in leads D2 (p = 0.003) and V1 (p = 0.001) were longer in the case group. In addition, the prolongation of the PR interval (PR) in lead D2, P wave duration (PWD) in lead D2, and P terminal force (PTF) in V1 were associated with an increase in the occurrence of pAF. Adjusted regression analysis showed that two variables, PWPT in V1 (OR, 95% CI: 1.04 (1.01-1.07), p = 0.005) and PWD in D2 (OR, 95% CI: 1.03 (1.00-1.05), p = 0.018), were predictors for AF.
conclusionOur results underscore the potential utility of simple ECG parameters, especially PWD in lead D2 and PWPT in V1, in predicting and assessing the risk of pAF. These findings provide valuable insights for clinical practice and risk stratification in patients without structural cardiac disease. Additionally, these findings may potentially contribute to the prevention of complications and injuries associated with pAF.
