Review in Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most common arrhythmia worldwide, but its pathophysiology remains complex and multifactorial. As obesity has increased over the past couple of decades, much interest has been generated about its relationship with other diseases. As a result, the interplay between AF and obesity has been rigorously investigated as risk factor modification has become more important for the management of AF. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology of AF and obesity, the pathophysiology connecting these two diseases, and how obesity affects the management of AF.
