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: We aim to investigate the atrial anatomical variations in patients with and without atrial fibrillation (AF) using cardiac-computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and identify features associated with AF recurrence following pulmonary vein isolation. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 502 CCTAs of patients with AF performed prior to a pulmonary vein isolation procedure with 1058 CCTAs of patients without AF performed to rule out coronary artery disease between 2014 and 2017. Anatomical variations of both atria including left atrial diverticula (LAD), right atrial diverticula (RAD), Bachmann bundle shunt (BBS), and pulmonary vein anatomy were assessed. Results: We found that patients with AF were older (67 ± 14 vs 63 ± 13 years, Conclusion: AF patients have a higher prevalence of BBS, LAD, and RAD in comparison to patients without AF. Mean LA diameter predicts AF recurrence after the pulmonary vein isolation procedure.
