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: Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is often linked to the development and persistence of atrial fibrillation (AF), but its impact on healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) in patients with or without AF is unclear. Methods: Patients who received a transthoracic echocardiogram at our institution between 2010 and 2022 were included. DD was derived from the echocardiogram reports. HCRU included cardiac interventional, structural, surgical, and electrophysiology procedures, as well as diagnostic monitoring and imaging tests. Results: A cohort of 157,043 patients (mean age 58 ± 18 years, 55 % women, 88 % White, 9 % with AF, 23 % with DD, LVEF 56 ± 8 %, BMI 30 ± 8 kg/m Discussion: DD is associated with higher HCRU in patients with or without AF. Conclusion: DD significantly increases HCRU which is higher in the presence of AF. These data emphasize the real-world impact of DD on HCRU and highlight the need to prioritize DD diagnosis and treatment to improve patients' health and reduce cost.
