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 is most the common arrhythmia in the world. Its incidence and prevalence have increased over the last 20 years and will continue to increase over next 30 years, becoming one of the largest epidemics challenges. Its presence leads to morbidity and mortality, posing a considerable burden on patients, public health, and healthcare economy. Methods: Institution based cross sectional study was conducted between September 2, 2024 and January 30, 2025 on 376 cardiac patients. Data were entered to Epidata 3.1v then exported to SPSS 27v for analysis. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used. Statistical significance was declared at Result: In this study, overall prevalence of atrial fibrillation was 29.8% (95% CI: 25.2%-34.7%). Factors including age > 60 years (AOR = 3.04, 95% CI: (1.07-8.66)); Conclusion: In this study, prevalence of atrial fibrillation was 29.8%. Factors associated with AF were age > 60 years, Heart failure, ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, Pulmonary hypertension, physical inactivity, and Statin use. Therefore, optimizing physical activity, screening and treating at-risk patients is important.
