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 relationship between thyroid hormone sensitivity and atrial fibrillation (AF) progression remains unclear. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity and the progression of AF in individuals with normal thyroid function. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 1,190 consecutive patients with AF, who were classified into paroxysmal AF ( Results: Compared with the paroxysmal AF group, patients with persistent AF exhibited significantly higher PTFQI and TT4RI values and a lower FT3/FT4 ratio ( Conclusion: Impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity may contribute to the progression from paroxysmal to persistent AF in euthyroid patients; however, its clinical predictive value requires further validation in large-scale studies.
