Daytime Napping, Incident Atrial Fibrillation, and Dynamic Transitions With Dementia.

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: Associations between napping and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unknown, and few studies have accounted for dynamic transitions between AF and dementia. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations between napping with incident AF and the dynamic transitions of AF and dementia, as well as the mediation pathway of left ventricular (LV) size and function. Methods: A total of 476,588 participants from UK Biobank were included. Napping frequency and other sleep behaviors were evaluated. Incident AF, dementia, and mortality were ascertained via linkage to external registry databases. LV size and function indices were obtained from cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging phenotypes. A multistate survival analysis was conducted to examine daytime napping in relation to dynamic transitions. Weighed AF genetic risk score was calculated. Results: Frequent daytime napping, compared to never/rarely napping, was associated with a 1.17-fold AF risk (HR: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.12-1.22), which persisted after controlling for other sleep behaviors. Genetic predisposition significantly modified associations between napping and AF ( Conclusions: Our findings highlight the potential importance of screening for napping in view of the association with incident AF and dementia. Routine evaluations of the LV ejection fraction could be warranted to timely identify early indications of AF onset among habitual nappers.
