Prevalence, associated factors, and prognostic value of P wave abnormality in patients with coronary artery disease.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Cardiovascular risk and prevention, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: P-wave terminal force in V1 (PTFV1) on electrocardiography is an easily available and cost-effective surrogate marker reflecting myocardial electrical and structural remodeling. An abnormal PTFV1 was recently suggested to be a reliable predictor of adverse cardiovascular events, whereas its performance in the setting of coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unknown. Methods: We retrospectively investigated 3147 patients with CAD who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention at our institution. Abnormal PTFV1 was defined as PTFV1 >0.04 mm⋅s. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiac death and heart failure hospitalization. The Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to investigate the association between PTFV1 and clinical outcome. Results: Among the study population, 592 (18.8 %) patients had abnormal PTFV1. Patients with abnormal PTFV1 had worse atherosclerotic and cardiovascular profiles, higher concentrations of brain natriuretic peptide and C-reactive protein, and more advanced CAD than those with normal PTFV1 (p < 0.05). The abnormal PTFV1 group had more pronounced left ventricular and atrial remodeling than normal PTFV1 group (p < 0.05), but the association between left atrial size and PTFV1 was not significant after multivariable adjustment (p = 0.355). During a median follow-up of 5.2 years, patients with abnormal PTFV1 more frequently experienced the primary outcome than those with normal PTFV1 (log-rank p < 0.001). Abnormal PTFV1 carried a significant risk for the primary outcome independent of baseline characteristics, biomarkers, and angiographic features (adjusted hazard ratio 2.38, p < 0.001). Conclusions: In patients with CAD who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention, abnormal PTFV1 is a robust and independent risk factor for adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
