Article in Kidney medicine, 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
Rationale & Objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is highly prevalent among patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) and patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We investigated the association of AF with in-hospital mortality, 1-year mortality, and 1-year readmission for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in HD patients admitted with STEMI. Study Design: Retrospective cohort study based on a large administrative database. Setting & Participants: 138,939 patients admitted with STEMI from 2003-2018, of whom 1,185 (8.5%)receiving HD, followed from the date of admission until death, migration, or 1 year after discharge. Exposures: STEMI ( Outcomes: In-hospital all-cause mortality (primary outcome), 1-year all-cause mortality, and 1-year readmission for AMI (secondary outcomes). Analytical Approach: Multivariable logistic regression and multivariable Cox regression. Results: One hundred and ninety-five out of 1,185 (16.5%) patients had AF at admission or developed AF during hospitalization. After adjusting for possible confounders, AF versus sinus rhythm was associated with higher in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR] = 1.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11-2.22). AF was associated with higher 1-year mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.45; 95% CI, 1.18-1.76), whereas it was not associated with higher 1-year readmission for AMI (HR = 1.05; 95% CI, 0.72-1.53). Less than 20% of patients with AF discharged alive were prescribed oral anticoagulant therapy. In this subgroup, oral anticoagulant therapy was associated with lower 1-year mortality (HR = 0.46; 95% CI, 0.24-0.89). Limitations: Potential bias due to incorrect or incomplete coding, retrospective design, incidence of thromboembolic events after discharge, and cause of 1-year mortality unknown. Conclusions: AF is highly prevalent and associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes in HD patients admitted with STEMI.
