The Acute Effects of an Ultramarathon on Atrial Function and Supraventricular Arrhythmias in Master Athletes.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
backgroundEndurance sports practice has significantly increased over the last decades, with a growing proportion of master athletes. However, concerns exist regarding the potential proarrhythmic effects induced by ultra-endurance sports. This study aimed to analyse the acute effects of an ultramarathon race on atrial remodelling and supraventricular arrhythmias in a population of master athletes.
methodsMaster athletes participating in an ultramarathon (50 km, 600 m of elevation gain) with no history of heart disease were recruited. A single-lead ECG was recorded continuously from the day before to the end of the race. Echocardiography and 12-lead resting ECG were performed before and immediately at the end of the race.
resultsThe study sample consisted of 68 healthy non-professional master athletes. Compared with baseline, P wave voltage was higher after the race (
conclusionsIn master athletes running an ultramarathon, acute exercise-induced atrial dysfunction was not detected, and exercise-induced supraventricular arrhythmias were uncommon. These results did not confirm the hypothesis of an acute atrial dysfunction induced by ultra-endurance exercise.
