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: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia, but data on the impact during delivery remains limited. Objectives: The aim of the study is to examine a) the prevalence of AF during pregnancy and puerperium, b) the association between AF and adverse outcomes, and c) the association between adverse cardiovascular outcomes and CHA Methods: The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was used to identify pregnancy-related hospitalizations between 2008 and 2017. Adverse outcomes included: in-hospital mortality, stroke, acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, acute kidney failure, and acute myocardial infarction. Logistic models were constructed to explore the relationship between AF and adverse outcomes. Results: Of 40,996,860 pregnancy- and puerperium-related hospitalizations, 15,162 (0.037%) also had AF. The prevalence of AF increased from 2.18 (95%CI = 2.04-2.31) per 10,000 hospitalizations in 2008 to 4.87 (95%CI = 4.65-5.09) per 10,000 in 2017 ( Conclusions: The prevalence of AF has been increasing in the pregnant and puerperium population and is associated with adverse outcomes.
