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

Background: The optimal endpoint for ablation in persistent atrial fibrillation (pers-AF) remains unclear. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the prognostic value of acute AF termination in predicting the recurrence of arrhythmias. Methods: A systematic search of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases was conducted from inception to July 2023. Only studies with reports of acute termination for pers-AF and its predictive role in arrhythmia recurrence were included. Subgroup analysis was performed to identify potential confounders for the effect of AF termination. Results: A total of 22 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled analysis indicated that acute termination of AF is significantly associated with an increased long-term success rate (relative risk (RR), 1.53; 95% CI, 1.41-1.66; Conclusions: Our study suggests that AF acute termination during ablation for pers-AF provides a better long-term clinical outcome.
