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

The incidences of AF and heart failure (HF) have been progressively increasing worldwide. These conditions exhibit a strong interdependence, with each exacerbating the other. HF is currently classified based on left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) as HF with reduced, mid-range or preserved EF (HFrEF, HFmrEF or HFpEF, respectively). Atrial cardiomyopathy, also known as atriopathy, involves structural, architectural, contractile, or electrophysiological alterations in the atria, driven by diverse mechanisms stemming from risk factors and comorbidities, including diabetes, hypertension, ischaemic and valvular heart diseases, hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies, as well as various forms of HF. Emerging evidence also implicates infiltrative cardiomyopathies (e.g. cardiac amyloidosis), certain cancers, and chemotherapeutic agents in promoting both AF and HF. This review summarises key basic and translational science findings, along with their potential clinical applications, that connect shared pathophysiological substrates between HF and atrial cardiomyopathy.
