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

backgroundPatients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remain exposed to residual thromboembolic and cardiovascular risk despite oral anticoagulation. The Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) reflects atherogenic burden, but its prognostic value in anticoagulated AF is uncertain.

methodsThis prospective cohort study included consecutive outpatients with AF initiating oral anticoagulation between January 2016 and November 2021. AIP was calculated from baseline triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Patients were stratified into low and high AIP groups using an outcome-driven cut-off. Primary outcomes were thromboembolic events and major adverse cardiovascular events. Secondary outcomes included cardiovascular and all-cause death. Associations were assessed using restricted cubic spline models and multivariable Cox regression analyses adjusted for AF-related comorbidities and concomitant therapies.

resultsAmong 2535 patients (52.4% women; median age, 76 years [interquartile range, 69-82 years]) followed up for 1.81±0.50 years, thromboembolic events occurred in 187 (7.4%) and major adverse cardiovascular events in 254 (10.0%). Restricted cubic spline models showed significant nonlinear associations with thromboembolic events (overall

conclusionsElevated AIP identifies anticoagulated patients with AF at increased residual thromboembolic and cardiovascular risk.
