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: Although the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac and thoracic surgery is common and leads to serious complications such as patients' vital organ dysfunction, pulmonary edema, myocardial infarction, and death, evidence about the occurrence and risk factors associated with post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) as new AF immediately after non-cardiac thoracic surgery is limited. Therefore, the present study aimed at investigating the factors related to the occurrence of POAF after non-cardiothoracic surgery. Materials and Methods: The present retrospective study was conducted on 272 patients undergoing non-cardiothoracic surgeries during 2007-2020. Patients' basic and clinical information including age, sex, BMI, addiction, comorbidities, history of non-cardiac thoracic surgery, history of cardiac surgery, history of chronic kidney disease (CKD), history of ischemic heart disease (IHD), history of heart failure (HF), valvular heart disease (VHD), and the occurrence or non-occurrence of POAF was extracted from their records and then documented. Results: In the present study, 48.1% and 51.9% of patients were with and without POAF, respectively. Risk factors associated with increasing the odds of POAF occurrence included age (OR = 1.094), anemia (OR = 3.947), IHD (OR = 4.23), CKD (OR = 4.765), VHD (OR = 4.781), pulmonary diseases (OR = 7.828), hypertension (HTN) (OR = 8.336), HF (OR = 11.790), and post-thoracic surgery (OR = 49.072) ( Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, aging, comorbidities (i.e., anemia, pulmonary diseases, HTN, and CKD), heart diseases (i.e., IHD, VHD, and HF), and post-thoracic surgery were among the most significant risk factors associated with the increased occurrence of POAF.
