Extensive Atrial Fibrosis and Recalcitrant Atrial Fibrillation: A Case Report and Brief Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common supraventricular arrhythmias. It has multiple etiologies, some of which include advanced age, hypertension, valvular heart disease, hyperthyroidism, sleep apnea, ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and certain medications. Herein, we will discuss a case of extensive atrial fibrosis in a 57-year-old male with recalcitrant atrial fibrillation, the significant role extensive atrial fibrosis plays in the recurrence of atrial fibrillation, a brief pathophysiologic interplay between both pathologies based on current literature and research, and various imaging modalities and treatment options utilized in these cases. Likewise, we will also outline some challenges faced or worth keeping in mind when using the various imaging modalities pertaining to the above subject matter.
