The Association of Perceived Stress and Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Research in heart yield and translational medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Highlights: Higher perceived stress links to more AF and related symptoms.Independent risk factors include male sex, diabetes, dyslipidemia, cardiomyopathy, and stress; need longitudinal studies to clarify causality. Background and Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent persistent arrhythmia and imposes a substantial burden on public health and society. Given prior evidence linking psychological factors with AF, this study was conducted to investigate the association between perceived stress and arrhythmia. Methods: In this case-control study, participants were recruited from the Outpatient Clinic of Rajaie Cardiovascular, Medical, and Research Center in Tehran, Iran, between May 2021 and September 2021 according to eligibility criteria. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews by trained research nurses using standardized checklists. Stress levels were assessed with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Data were analyzed with SPSS, version 22. Results: A total of 155 cases with arrhythmia and 144 controls were enrolled. In the case group, the mean age was 53.99 years (±14.23), with 100 males (64.5%) and 55 females (35.5%). In the control group, the mean age was 48.53 years (±13.59), with 73 males (50.7%) and 71 females (49.3%). The mean perceived stress score was 30.6 in cases and 25.07 in controls (P<0.001). Stress-related symptoms, including palpitation and chest discomfort, were more common in patients with arrhythmia than in healthy controls (P=0.015 and P<0.001, respectively). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the risk of arrhythmia was independently associated with sex, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiomyopathy, concentration difficulty, chest discomfort, and stress score. Interpretation and Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that AF is significantly associated with psychological stress and higher perceived stress scores. Interventions aimed at reducing stress in individuals at high risk of developing AF may be beneficial.
