Thirty-day unplanned readmissions following hospitalization for atrial fibrillation in a tertiary Syrian center: A real-world observational cohort study.
Article in Heart rhythm O2, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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 the most common arrhythmia worldwide. Data regarding 30-day readmission following index admission for AF in the developing world are poorly described. Objectives: The study aimed to assess the rate, predictors, and trends of 30-day readmission after index admission for AF in Syria. Methods: We included adult patients who had an index admission with AF to Latakia's tertiary center between June 2021 and October 2023. Patients were monitored for readmission for 30 days after index discharge. Data were taken from patients' medical notes. Results: A total of 661 patients were included in the final analysis, of which 282 (43%) were readmitted to hospital within 30 days following index admission. Cardiac causes were the most common cause of readmission in 72% of patients, of which 60% were AF. Readmitted patients had a higher median age (62 years vs 57 years, Conclusion: Almost 1 in 2 patients were readmitted within 30 days after an index admission for AF. Female sex, advancing age, diabetes mellitus, and congestive heart failure were independently associated with an increased risk of 30-day readmission.
