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

backgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent condition with a major influence on patients' quality of life, especially when blood glucose and heart rate are disrupted and systemic inflammation is present.

objectiveThis study aimed to compare Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores of diabetic patients by AF type and their correlations with different clinical and biological parameters. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe retrospective study included 220 patients, from which only 200 were selected because of missing data. Patients were divided into three groups: paroxysmal AF (

resultsThe KCCQ score was significantly higher in patients with paroxysmal AF (69.50 ± 5.93), compared to persistent AF (56.92 ± 3.04) and permanent AF (42.28 ± 5.89),

conclusionsThe type of atrial fibrillation significantly influences the quality of life assessed by the KCCQ score. Clinical and analytical parameters such as blood glucose, heart rate, systemic inflammation, and renal function significantly correlate with patients' perception of health, indicating the importance of integrated management of AF.
