Atrial Fibrillation Versus Nonatrial Fibrillation Coronary Embolism: A Multicenter Study.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06948240 (Atrial Fibrillation Long Term Outcomes), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundCoronary embolism (CE) is an underrecognized cause of acute myocardial infarction, and limited data exist comparing atrial fibrillation-related CE (AF CE) with CE from other causes.
methodsWe conducted the first multicenter study in this challenging setting (NCT06948240). We retrospectively included 489 patients diagnosed with CE across 10 hospitals. CE was diagnosed using Shibata criteria. Patients were classified into AF CE and non-AF CE groups.
resultsA total of 241 patients (49%) had AF CE. Distinctive angiographic features were reported in patients with AF CE: less proximal coronary obstruction (34% versus 46%,
conclusionAF-related CE is associated with distinct angiographic patterns and independently predicts poor outcomes, highlighting the need for refined and tailored strategies in AF CE.
