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

objectiveTo compare the efficacy of amiodarone alone versus amiodarone combined with sacubitril/valsartan in patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing clinical strategies.

methodsData of 106 NOAF patients admitted to West China Hospital, Sichuan University (January 2022 to June 2024) were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into a control group (amiodarone alone) and an observation group (amiodarone combined with sacubitril/valsartan). Demographic characteristics, length of hospital stay, duration of atrial fibrillation, creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), ventricular rate, creatinine, urea, C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were collected and compared between the two groups. Cardiac function parameters, including left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), recurrence rate, and other adverse events, were recorded at admission and six months post-discharge.

resultsBoth groups showed significant improvement in CK-MB, hs-cTnT, ventricular rate, ALT, and AST after treatment, with no significant difference between the groups. While CRP levels remained stable in the control group, the observation group demonstrated a significant decrease. Additionally, the observation group showed a significantly elevated LVEF level but lower LVESD and LVEDD levels after treatment, while these parameters remained unchanged in the control group. Besides, the observation group had a longer recurrence time and a lower incidence of stroke.

conclusionAmiodarone combined with sacubitril/valsartan significantly improves cardiac function, prolongs the time to recurrence, and reduces the incidence of stroke in NOAF patients after AMI.
