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

backgroundThe Osaka Prognostic Score (OPS), which is based on C‑reactive protein (CRP), total lymphocyte count (TLC), and albumin (ALB), has been reported to have prognostic value in several types of cancer. Recent studies have revealed a relationship between the OPS and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the OPS and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a significant rhythm disorder.

methodsA total of 941 individuals, including 198 patients with a history of AF and 743 patients without AF as the control group, were included in the study. These groups were compared in terms of demographic characteristics and laboratory findings.

resultsUnivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses revealed an independent relationship between the OPS and AF (odds ratio [OR]: 3.37, p < 0.001). In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, OPS above a cut-off level of 0.5 was associated with the presence of AF, with a sensitivity of 55.6% and a specificity of 77.4% (area under the ROC curve [AUC]: 0.682, p < 0.001).

conclusionThis study found a relationship between the OPS and paroxysmal AF attacks. The OPS may provide additional information for the clinical evaluation of patients with paroxysmal AF in daily practice.
