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 is the most frequent arrhythmia in elderly subjects. Cancer currently represents one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. Often, the two pathologies coexist. Several pathophysiological mechanisms can lead to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and cancer. Additionally, the same therapies used for cancer can increase the risk of developing atrial fibrillation. Our review aims to describe the pathophysiological mechanisms that promote the development of atrial fibrillation in cancer patients and explain the therapeutic opportunities and challenges of treating atrial fibrillation in patients with cancer.
