Global burden of tobacco-induced atrial fibrillation/flutter: Trends from 1990 to 2021 and projections to 2045 based on the Global Burden of Disease study.
Article in Tobacco induced diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionTobacco use is a key modifiable risk factor for atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/AFL). We assessed global, regional, and national burdens attributable to smoking from 1990 to 2021 and projected future trends.
methodsData on deaths and DALYs were extracted from the GBD 2021 study. Main statistical analyses included the calculation of ASMR and ASDR. Trends were quantified using the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC). An age-period-cohort (APC) model was employed to decompose the effects of age, period, and birth cohort. Furthermore, a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was utilized to project the disease burden through 2045.
resultsIn 2021, AF/AFL related to tobacco caused around 396000 cases, more than 10000 deaths, and 400000 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Compared with 1990, absolute cases and DALYs increased, while ASDR and ASR DALY declined (20%). High SDI regions improved most; low SDI regions lagged. Men and older adults bore disproportionate burdens. By 2045, deaths are projected to reach 14500 and 4200, respectively. Despite rising absolute DALYs, ASMR and ASDR are expected to decline in both sexes.
conclusionsAlthough standardized rates declined, the absolute burden of tobacco-related AF/AFL continues to rise, highlighting the urgent need for stronger tobacco control and targeted interventions in vulnerable populations.
