Elevated Resting Heart Rate in Hospitalized Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Is Associated With Increased Cardiovascular Risk.

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: Effective rate control is important in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the relationship between resting heart rate (RHR) and adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients remains uncertain. Objective: This study was to evaluate the association between RHR and in-hospital outcomes. Methods: Data from the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-AF project from 2014 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome was the composite of in-hospital all-cause mortality and in-hospital acute heart failure (AHF). Secondary outcomes included stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) and bleeding during hospitalization. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between RHR and outcomes. Results: Our study included 12,775 patients hospitalized for AF in 236 hospitals. Logistic regression analyses using different models showed a significant association between RHR exceeding 80 bpm and an increased risk of the primary outcome (adjusted OR: 1.79 [95% CI: 1.44-2.22]). A positive association between RHR and the primary outcome was identified with RHR ≥ 80 bpm. Marginal effect analyses showed that patients with advanced AF types were at higher risk across the range of RHR. Conversely, catheter ablation, but not antiarrhythmic drug use, was associated with a decreased risk. Conclusion: A significant association was identified between RHR and adverse outcomes in patients hospitalized for AF, where RHR exceeding 80 bpm was associated with an increased risk.
