Atrial Fibrillation and Race - A Contemporary Review.
Article in Current cardiovascular risk reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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) is the most commonly encountered clinical arrhythmia and is associated with adverse outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Racial variations in AF are recognized yet poorly understood. In this review we summarize racial differences in AF epidemiology, risk factors, genetics, and outcomes. We identify novel risk factors, inflammatory mediators and biomarkers associated with AF, which have had limited study in racial and ethnic minorities. We describe the mismatch between risk factor burden and AF. We highlight the limited participation of minorities in trials for AF management and stroke prevention that contrasts with observed racial variability in anticoagulation efficacy and practice. Throughout we provide specific strategies for future directions to address gaps in the epidemiology of racial differences and to meet identified racial disparities. We specifically identify areas for further research. We conclude that addressing disparities in prevention and healthcare resource allocation will likely improve AF-related outcomes in minorities.
