Atrial Fibrillation and Lipid-related Indices in Japanese Men: An Age-matched Case-control Study.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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/
aimAtrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with cardiovascular risk factors. Although certain lipid-related indices, including the ratio of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C), the ratio of triglycerides to HDL-C (TG/HDL-C), lipid accumulation product (LAP), cardiometabolic index (CMI) and the ratio of gamma-glutamyltransferase to HDL-C (GGT/HDL-C), are known to predict cardiovascular disease, their relationship with AF is unclear. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe participants included 154 men (median of age: 66 years) with AF and 308 age-matched men without AF. Cardiovascular risk factors, including obesity indices, blood pressure, blood lipids and hemoglobin A
resultsBody mass index, waist circumference and GGT were significantly higher or larger in participants with AF than in those without AF, while LDL-C was significantly lower in the AF group than in the control group. TG, HDL-C and hemoglobin A
conclusionLAP and GGT/HDL-C were positively associated with AF, whereas LDL-C/HDL-C was inversely associated with AF. AFRI may be a useful marker for discriminating the risk of AF.
