Racial Differences in Atrial Fibrillation Epidemiology, Management, and Outcomes.
Review in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purpose of the reviewAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice and is associated with significant morbidity and healthcare cost. Most of the AF studies have predominantly included white population, with under-representation of minority population. In this review, we analyze the racial differences in epidemiology, disease awareness, risk factors, genetics, treatments, and outcomes of AF. RECENT
findingsAfrican Americans have a higher prevalence of established AF risk factors but lower incidence and prevalence of AF than non-Hispanic whites. There is also a significant racial and ethnic differences in the prevalence of AF-related symptoms and the detection and awareness of AF. Non-white patients are afforded decreased use of rhythm control treatment strategies and anticoagulation both with warfarin and NOACs for stroke prevention. They are less likely to receive catheter ablation (CA) of AF, compared with non-Hispanic whites. AF in the minority racial and ethnic groups carries increased morbidity and mortality compared with white groups, especially in the black individuals with AF, who have been shown to have a lower QoL compared with their white or Hispanic counterparts. Minorities experience stroke more frequently than the whites which is usually more severe and disabling. There are significant racial differences in AF risk factors, manifestations, management, and outcomes. Recognition of these differences will aid in developing better preventive and treatment strategies for AF to decrease morbidity and mortality. In addition, this knowledge will enhance our understanding regarding the pathophysiology of AF including genetic predisposition.
