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

The impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on patients with chronic total occlusions (CTOs) at the national level remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a retrospective analysis of data from the National Inpatient Sample to assess the characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of patients with CTO based on the presence or absence of AF. Multiple logistic and linear regressions examined factors associated with AF and evaluated its impact on length of stay (LoS), cost, and mortality. The analysis included 480,180 patients diagnosed with CTO, with AF present in 28.0% of cases. Patients with CTOs and AF were older (median age 73 vs. 66 years,
