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) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and a major cause of ischemic stroke. Between 91% and 100% of cardiogenic thrombi are in the left atrial appendage (LAA), and the morphology of the LAA is closely associated with the formation of LAA thrombus (LAAT). This review provides a detailed discussion of the anatomy of the LAA, the epidemiology, and the diagnosis of LAAT. It focuses on analyzing the role of LAA morphology in blood stasis, morphological abnormality, and hypercoagulable states. Accurate evaluation of the morphology of the LAA can assist with risk stratification in patients with AF. The commonly used LAA morphological evaluation indicators must be more comprehensive and objective. Recently, new imaging protocols allow for LA morphological remodeling and fibrosis assessment, which has been demonstrated to correlate with assessing the individual's risks of thromboembolic events and practical imaging of patients with LAAT.
