Retrospective analysis of seasonal patterns in atrial fibrillation incidence and temperature fluctuations.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. 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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most common sustained arrhythmia contributing significantly to global morbidity and mortality. This retrospective study analyzed 126,389 adult patients across three tertiary hospitals from 2018 to 2022 to assess the seasonal variation in AF incidence with respect to ambient temperature. The incidence of AF was significantly higher during winter and early spring, showing an inverse correlation with mean daily temperature (r = -0.81, p < 0.001), particularly among elderly, hypertensive, and diabetic individuals. Cold-induced vasoconstriction, increased sympathetic tone, and inflammatory responses may underlie the seasonal rise in AF admissions. Recognizing these temperature-related variations can assist in identifying high-risk periods and guide preventive strategies to mitigate the burden of AF.
