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 (AF) is a common arrhythmic complication in individuals presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however, the distinct clinical features of AF when it manifests at different stages—either early or late during hospitalization—remain insufficiently characterized.

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, 2-year outcomes, and predictive determinants of early versus late newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (NDAF) in patients with AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

methodsA total of 2,345 consecutive AMI patients treated with PCI were retrospectively reviewed and stratified into three categories: early NDAF, late NDAF, and no NDAF. Comparative analyses were performed across these groups, including assessments of baseline clinical profiles, angiographic and echocardiographic findings, and 2-year clinical outcomes.

resultsAmong the cohort, 195 patients (8.3%) developed NDAF during hospitalization, with early NDAF observed in 3.8% and late NDAF in 4.5%. Over the 2-year follow-up, patients with either early or late NDAF demonstrated significantly higher rates of hospitalization for heart failure and major bleeding compared to those without NDAF (P < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression identified ischemic occlusion of atrial branches (P < 0.001) and left atrial enlargement (P = 0.015) as independent predictors of early NDAF. For late NDAF, ischemic occlusion of atrial branches (P = 0.025) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤ 40%, P = 0.007) were significant predictors. Hospitalization due to heart failure was independently associated with LVEF ≤ 40% (P = 0.016), early NDAF (P = 0.039), and late NDAF (P < 0.001).

conclusionsBoth early and late NDAF were linked to increased risks of heart failure–related hospitalization and major bleeding compared to patients who remained in sinus rhythm. Importantly, ischemic occlusion of atrial branches emerged as a shared and independent predictor for both early and late NDAF following AMI.
