Determinants of Impaired Left Atrial Hemodynamics in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: A 4D Flow MRI Study.

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
Left atrial (LA) blood flow stasis is a major contributor to thromboembolic risk in atrial fibrillation (AF) and can be measured non-invasively using four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), yet factors driving impaired LA hemodynamics in paroxysmal AF remain unclear. In this retrospective study, 107 patients with paroxysmal AF undergoing pre-ablation cardiac MRI were evaluated. LA blood flow stasis was quantified as the proportion of LA voxels with velocity < 0.1 m/s on 4D flow MRI. Multivariable linear regression assessed associations between LA stasis and demographic, cardiac structural and functional, and clinical variables in a complete-case cohort of 88 patients. Mean LA blood flow stasis was 44 ± 13%. After adjustment, higher left atrial volume index, higher hematocrit, and female sex were independently associated with greater LA stasis, while higher left ventricular ejection fraction, higher resting heart rate, and higher body mass index were associated with lower stasis (all
