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

backgroundAtrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia worldwide, affecting between 2% and 4% of population. The projected further progression is a reason to consider AF as a global epidemic problem. The efficiency in diagnosing new cases is still unsatisfactory.

methodsThe prospective study included 74 patients hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction. Echocardiography with advanced assessment of the left atrium was performed on all patients. R Statistical Software was used for statistical and graphical processing.

resultsAtrial fibrillation was first diagnosed in 13.5% of patients with acute myocardial infarction, and in 5.4% of the patients the diagnosis was made during the long-term follow-up period. Analysis of the data collected showed that patients with arrythmia were older (71.79 vs 63.5 years; p = 0.047), had a higher BMI (30.15 vs 26.76 kg/m

conclusionsAmong the echocardiographic parameters, those that may indicate an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and could be implemented in clinical practice are LASr and LASI. Determining them in risk profiling and the implementation of individualized arrhythmia detection methods could increase diagnostic efficiency.
