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

Sinus rhythm (SR) maintenance strategies after electrical or pharmacological cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) may be only temporarily effective, leading to AF recurrence. Identifying predictors of AF recurrence after effective electrical cardioversion (ECV) may help personalize treatment, for instance, by affecting modifiable factors of unsuccessful long-term rhythm control. Disseminating information on this topic may benefit individual patients, lower the risk of subsequent procedures and the associated complications, and decrease health care costs. The purpose of this paper was to present the current state of knowledge on the predictors of failed ECV, with a particular focus on the most recent relevant research.
