Echocardiographic Predictors of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery: Assessing Atrial Mechanics for Risk Stratification.

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
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery, increasing morbidity and healthcare costs. This study aimed to identify echocardiographic predictors of POAF to improve risk stratification. A total of 131 patients undergoing cardiac surgery were analyzed and divided into two groups based on POAF occurrence. Echocardiographic analysis showed that patients with POAF had larger left and right atrial dimensions and impaired atrial function. Prolonged total atrial conduction time (TACT), reduced atrial emptying volumes, and contractile function were more common in the POAF group. Univariable analysis identified LAEF (χ
