Prevalence of Bundle Branch Block and Axis Deviation in Permanent Atrial Fibrillation and Gender Differences.
Observational study in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate two conditions that have been poorly investigated in the medical literature before in the context of atrial fibrillation: the coexistence and association of right or left bundle branch block and axis deviation in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation compared to the control group of healthy subjects with sinus rhythm. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe conducted an analytic, retrospective observational study performed at Ziv Medical Center, Safed, Israel, collecting data from medical history records of all patients that have been diagnosed with permanent atrial fibrillation versus healthy controlled patients with normal sinus rhythm. We analyzed their ECGs in order to assess the presence of any bundle branch block and/or axis deviation.
resultsSubjects with atrial fibrillation have significant correlation with left bundle branch block. Subjects with sinus rhythm have significant correlation to left axis deviation. Young subjects (below the age 73.5 y/o) with atrial fibrillation show significantly higher correlation with left bundle branch block and older subjects (above the age 73.5 y/o) with sinus rhythm show significantly higher correlation to left axis deviation.
conclusionThere is a correlation between atrial fibrillation and left bundle branch block. The presence of left bundle branch block could be a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and the presence of left axis deviation could be a protective factor. There is no difference between female and male patients. There is a difference in the age group; young subjects with atrial fibrillation have a significant correlation with left bundle branch block, which may demonstrate a poor prognosis for patients with atrial fibrillation.
