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

Purpose: To explore the relationship between the Naples Score and the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) following radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in patients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 719 patients with AF who underwent radiofrequency catheter RFCA between April 2019 and October 2024 at Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital of Qingdao University. We utilized Cox multifactorial regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves to evaluate the relationship between the Naples Score and the recurrence of AF following RFCA. Additionally, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated to assess the predictive value of the Naples Score for recurrence. Results: After follow-up, 156 (21.7%) AF patients occurred recurrence. A significant difference in recurrence rates was observed among patients with varying Naples Scores (14.0% vs. 20.8% vs. 34.2%, Conclusion: Naples Score was identified as an independent risk factor for recurrence following RFCA of AF.
