Lifestyle Factors and Thromboembolic Risk in Atrial Fibrillation: Age-Dependent Effects of Smoking and Alcohol Consumption.
Article in Journal of arrhythmia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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: Atrial fibrillation (AF) relates to cardioembolic stroke (CS), but the role of lifestyle factors, including smoking and alcohol, remains unclear. Methods: This retrospective, nationwide, multicenter case-control study used the Inpatient Clinico-Occupational Database of the Rosai Hospital Group from 2005 to 2022. Patients with AF and CS were identified using ICD-10 codes. Smoking status and alcohol consumption were assessed at admission through structured interviews. We examined age-stratified differences in smoking and alcohol consumption and evaluated the impact of smoking and alcohol intake on the risk of CS. Results: Among 26 915 patients, 5688 had AF-related CS and 21 227 had AF without CS. Current smoking was more prevalent in AF patients with CS aged from 40-49 to 80-89 years than those without (all Conclusions: Smoking and daily alcohol consumption associate with CS risk in AF patients, especially younger individuals with low CHA
