Periatrial Fat Quality Predicts Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Outcome.
Article in Circulation. Cardiovascular imaging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 33 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Background Previous studies showed that the quantity of the left atrial (LA) periatrial fat tissue predicts recurrence after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that the quality of the LA periatrial fat tissue, measured by the mean computed tomography attenuation, predicts recurrence after AF ablation independent of the quantity of the LA periatrial fat tissue. Methods We included 143 consecutive patients with drug-refractory AF referred for the first catheter ablation of AF (62.2±10 years, 40% nonparoxysmal AF). All participants had a preablation cardiac computed tomography. We measured the quantity of the LA periatrial fat tissue by the area (millimeter square) and the quality by the mean computed tomography attenuation (Hounsfield units) in a standard 4-chamber view. Results Patients with AF recurrence after ablation (n=57) had a significantly larger fat area (167.6 [interquartile range, 124.1-255] versus 145.4 [95.6-229.3] mm
