Atrial fibrillation and long-term sports practice: epidemiology and mechanisms.
Review in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundLone atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia of the heart and is considered to have a higher prevalence in athletes, especially in endurance sports.
methodsWe conducted an extensive literature research in pubmed using the key words s ports and atrial fibrillation.
resultsThe majority of studies have methodological limitations due to different inclusion criteria, such as age, type of sport, training level as well as statistical bias. The inconsistency of data is reflected by the considerable range of AF occurrence, spanning from 0.3 to 12.8 %.
conclusionsWe consider it reasonable to separate a study population into sedentary individuals, leisure time sportsmen/women and elite athletes. A distinction between the categories may be achieved through a combination of exercise history, capacity (e.g. MET hours/week, e.g. VO2max) and competitive results. Since there is a large span in the analyzed age groups (24-84 years), we claim that the focus should be laid upon the 45- to 65-year-olds due to a sound detection rate of true positives. Finally, we discuss ways to increase the detection rate of paroxysmal AF and comment on new therapeutic options.
