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

backgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of long-term mortality in patients hospitalized with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), but the evidence is limited.

methodsThis study used data from the Common Data Model of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service of Korea collected between 1 January 2020 and 30 April 2022. A total of 107,247 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 were included in this study. They were divided into two groups according to a history of AF. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality.

resultsAfter propensity score stratification, 1919 patients with a history of AF and 105,328 patients without a history of AF who were hospitalized with COVID-19 were analyzed to determine long-term mortality. The primary outcome occurred in 99 of 1919 patients (5.2%) with a history of AF and in 1397 of 105,328 patients (1.3%) without a history of AF (hazard ratio, 1.49; 95% confidence interval 1.20-1.82;

conclusionA history of AF was associated with an increased risk of long-term mortality in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Our findings indicate the necessity for physicians to reevaluate the optimal management of patients with AF following discharge.
