2 Fig 1 Flow diagram of study selection process. (AF = atrial fibrillation; RCTs = randomized controlled trials.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2006 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Forest plot of fixed-effects model of odds ratios for prevention of post–cardiac surgery atrial fibrillation from 19 randomized controlled trials. (CI = confidence interval.)

5 Fig 4 Meta-analysis of secondary outcomes. (A) Forest plot of fixed-effects model for difference in heart rate at onset of atrial fibrillation across 11 studies. (B) Forest plot of random-effects model for difference in hospital length of stay across 11 studies. (C) Forest plot of fixed-effects model for incidence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias across 14 studies. (CI = confidence interval.) (D) Forest plot of fixed-effects model for incidence of transient ischemic attack or stroke across 11 studies. (CI = confidence interval.)
