Assessing modifiable risk factors for atrial fibrillation/flutter in the young: a hybrid local-global study.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter (AFL) are among the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases in the young. This study aimed to assess modifiable risk factors by integrating a global data analysis with a local cohort study. Methods: Age-standardized rates of AF/AFL prevalence (ASPR), incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASDR), and DALYs, EAPCs were analyzed by regions from 1990 to 2021. In the cohort study, multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between risk factors and the odds of atrial arrythmia. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to explore potential non-linear relationships between risk factors and the odds of atrial arrhythmia. Results: A rising global burden of AF/AFL was observed among individuals aged 15 to 39 years. High-SDI areas had the highest AF/AFL-related ASPR, ASIR, and DALYs. Global data identified hypertension, high BMI, smoking, and alcohol consumption as the main modifiable risk factors for AF/AFL, among which hypertension contributes the most. In the cohort study, segmented regression identified significant breakpoints for DBP at 88.3 mmHg and BMI at 28.8 kg/m Conclusion: The global burden of AF/AFL in the young adult population has increased over the past 30 years. High blood pressure, high BMI, smoking, and alcohol consumption are key modifiable contributors to the increased AF/AFL burden in young adults. Enhanced awareness, targeted screening, and proactive clinical management of these risk factors are critical for mitigating the AF/AFL burden in this demographic.
