Incremental value of the combined brain-cardiac CT protocol on prediction of atrial fibrillation after stroke.
Article in European stroke journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke. It is essential to target patients at highest risk of AF detected after stroke (AFDAS), who should benefit from a prolonged rhythm screening strategy. Cardiac-CT angiography (CCTA) was added to the stroke protocol used in our institution in 2018. We sought to assess, for AFDAS, the predictive value of atrial cardiopathy markers by a CCTA performed on admission for acute ischemic stroke. Patients and Methods: From November 2018 to October 2019, consecutive stroke patients with no history of AF were included. Let atrial volume (LAV), epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) attenuation and volume, and LAA characteristics were measured on CCTA. The primary endpoint was the presence of AFDAS at follow-up, diagnosed by continuous electrocardiographic monitoring, long-term external Holter monitoring during hospital stay, or implantable cardiac monitor (ICM). Results: Sixty of the 247 included patients developed AFDAS. Multivariable analysis shows independent predictors of AFDAS: age >80 years (HR 2.46; 95%CI (1.23-4.92), Discussion and conclusion: Adding CCTA to the acute stroke protocol to assess markers of atrial cardiopathy associated with AFDAS may help to better stratify the AF screening strategy, including the use of an ICM.
