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

Infiltrative cardiomyopathies comprise a heterogeneous spectrum of hereditary and acquired diseases characterised by the accumulation of pathological substrates within the myocardium, ultimately resulting in progressive impairment of cardiac function and the development of heart failure. Across these conditions, atrial fibrillation is a frequent and clinically relevant complication, contributing to symptom burden, heart failure progression, and thromboembolic risk. Structural, functional, and electrical atrial remodelling, collectively referred to as atrial cardiomyopathy, emerges as a common pathophysiological substrate linking myocardial infiltration to atrial fibrillation and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Multi-modality cardiac imaging enables comprehensive assessment of atrial cardiomyopathy, offering mechanistic insights into the atrial substrate of atrial fibrillation, with potential impact on the clinical management of this group of diseases. This review summarises contemporary evidence on atrial fibrillation in infiltrative cardiomyopathies, with a particular focus on the role of non-invasive multimodal imaging in the evaluation of atrial cardiomyopathy.
