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

INTRODUCTION/

objectivesInsomnia is a common sleep disorders that affects most individuals in the United States, and worldwide. Insomnia is linked with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in adults, although the strengths of association were weak, especially in the elderly population. AF is estimated to affect approximately 3 to 6 million people in the United States. We studied the association of AF with insomnia in the elderly population.

methodsWe reviewed the electronic medical records of elderly patients who received care in an internal medicine office from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. Patients were grouped into AF group, and a group without AF (NOAF). Association of insomnia and other variables were compared between the 2 groups.

resultsAmong 2428 patients, 341 (14%) had AF. Patients in the AF group were significantly older compared to no-AF group (80.3 ± 7.9 vs 76.1 ± 7.4 years;

conclusionAF was associated with insomnia in the elderly population. Higher frequencies of association of AF were also seen with older age, male sex, White race, CVA, TIA, dementia, CAD, CHF, other cardiac arrhythmias, COPD, OSA, CKD, anemia, and cancer.
