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
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia following cardiac surgery. Although many risk factors have been studied, none has emerged as a dominant and widely applicable prophylactic measure. Aim: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between the amount of shed mediastinal blood and the occurrence of postoperative AF. Material and methods: From February 2021 to March 2024, 1140 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were evaluated for the occurrence of postoperative AF (POAF). The following parameters were recorded and analyzed: age, gender, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), history of stroke, pre-operative ejection fraction, CPB, aortic cross clamp time, and amount of mediastinal drainage. All variables were analyzed using logistic regression to assess their association with new-onset AF. Results: A total of 388 (33.59%) patients developed paroxysmal AF. According to our study, after multiple regression analysis, new onset atrial fibrillation showed statistically significant relationships with age ( Conclusions: The occurrence of postoperative AF is strongly associated with the amount of shed mediastinal blood.
