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: The Asia-Pacific Heart Rhythm Society Atrial Fibrillation (APHRS-AF) Registry is a prospective study in Asian metropolitan cities, which provides important information on the baseline characteristics, therapeutic patterns, and 1-year clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This report describes data from Japanese patients recruited in this registry. Methods and Results: A total of 4666 patients with AF were enrolled. Of these, 794 patients were recruited from 28 large cardiovascular centers in Japan between 2015 and 2017. We analyzed 1-year follow-up outcome of these patients. Mean age at recruitment was 65.7 years and 69.0% were males. Major comorbidities were hypertension (37.5%), lipid disorder (29.0%), heart failure (15.9%), and diabetes mellitus (15.0%). Mean CHADS2 score, CHA2DS2-VASc score, and HAS-BLED score were 1.0, 2.0, and 1.1, respectively. At baseline, use of oral anticoagulants was 81%, including 7% prescribed a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and 74% a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). Majority of the patients ( Conclusion: In this 1-year analysis, a high prevalence of oral anticoagulant use was recorded. A low mortality rate and a low incidence of stroke/thromboembolic events were observed in Japanese patients of the APHRS-AF Registry.
