Impact of atrial fibrillation in hospitalized patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: A nationwide analysis.
Article in World journal of methodology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most common cardiac arrhythmia. The safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with AF remains largely unknown.
aimTo analyze the effect of AF on hospital outcomes in patients undergoing ERCP.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database. Adult patients with AF who underwent an inpatient ERCP were identified, then stratified by timing of ERCP,
resultsOf the 433245 patients that underwent an ERCP, 49615 had a diagnosis of AF. Patients with AF had a significantly higher in-hospital mortality compared to those without AF [3.82%
conclusionBy way of this large, national analysis it appears AF is associated with significantly worse hospitalization outcomes, inducing increased mortality, in those undergoing ERCP. Further prospective investigation is warranted to potentially guide clinical recommendations for patients with AF undergoing ERCP in this setting.
