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) represents one of the most common arrhythmias seen clinically and is associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. One of the main contributors to the pathophysiology for the initiation, progression, and persistence of AF is inflammation. Inflammatory infiltrates and increased serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines have been demonstrated in animal models and patients with AF. AF progression is associated with increased levels of these proinflammatory cytokines. Cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of AF. Moreover, cigarette smoke is known to increase inflammation and proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Therefore, it is of great clinical importance to elucidate the underlying mechanisms contributing to smoking-induced inflammation in patients with AF. A critical amplifier of inflammation is the NLRP3 inflammasome, which is increased in patients with AF. Here, we identify critical upstream mechanisms leading to NLRP3 inflammasome activation via endoplasmic reticulum stress in atrial tissues from patients with AF and human-induced pluripotent stem cell-atrial cardiomyocytes. These findings reveal important mechanistic insights into possible upstream targets in controlling excessive inflammation due to smoking in patients with AF.
