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

Purpose: This study sought to investigate the predictive factors for atrial fibrillation late recurrence (AFLR) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) and construct a nomogram prediction model for providing precious information of screening the high risk patients and giving appropriate preventive interventions. Patients and Methods: A total of 128 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who underwent RFCA were enrolled. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to screen the predictors of AFLR and MACEs (including rehospitalization due to AF recurrence, heart failure, myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, stroke and all-cause mortality). The nomogram model was constructed to predict AFLR after RFCA. Risk stratification based on the nomogram further predicted AFLR and MACEs after RFCA. Subgroup analysis and survival analysis of high and low risk groups in individuals with AF after RFCA were performed. Results: During median follow-up of 76.50 (5.75) months, 71 (55.47%) patients experienced AFLR, while 56 (43.75%) suffered from MACEs. Early recurrence, maximum left atrial volume index (LAVImax) and E/Vp were the independent risk factors for predicting AFLR after RFCA. And AFLR was the only independent predictor for MACEs. Accordingly, a nomogram prediction model based on early recurrence, LAVImax and E/Vp was constructed, the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year AUC of AFLR were 0.904, 0.826 and 0.793, respectively. Risk stratification based on the nomogram had high predictive value for AFLR and MACEs. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed great discrimination between the low and high risk groups in the probability of free from AFLR and MACEs. Conclusion: The nomogram model based on early recurrence, LAVImax and E/Vp can be used to predict the AFLR and MACEs after RFCA accurately and individually, in order to provide scientific and effective patient management basis for AF patients after RFCA.
