Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Athletes: A Primary Level of Prevention.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Primary prevention of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) refers to the use of pharmacological or interventional therapy and healthy lifestyle modifications to prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients who have not experienced symptomatic, life-threatening persistent ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation or SCA but are considered to be at a higher risk. This review provides an overview of the physiological heart changes and distinct electrical manifestations, the etiology of SCA, and screening methods and interventions for the prevention of SCA in athletes. The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines recommend screening with a 14-point history and physical examination. In most cases, a thorough clinical evaluation along with an ECG is sufficient for screening. Athletes with heart diseases leading to SCD are urged not to compete. Further decisions are taken following the European Society of Cardiology and the AHA's current workout recommendations. Early detection of cardiac disease allows for individualized risk evaluation and treatment, which has been shown to reduce mortality rates in athletes.
