1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter (AFL) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. The known risk factors for developing AF/AFL include age, structural heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or hyperthyroidism. This study aims to attribute the trends in AF/AFL-related mortalities over the past two decades 1999-2020 concerning race and sex and disparity among them. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that estimates the trends and mortality due to AF/AFL from 1999-2020 in older adults in the United States. In this 21-year analysis of mortality data, we found a constant increase in mortality rates due to AF/AFL in older adults. From 1999 to 2020, the overall mortality in older adults aged 65 and above, regardless of sex and race, is found to be almost doubled
