ReviewHeart rhythm O22022
Sex and racial disparities in catheter ablation.
Review in Heart rhythm O2, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Sex and racial disparities in the presentation, diagnosis, and management of cardiac arrhythmias are recognized. Sex-specific differences in electrophysiological parameters are well known and are predominantly related to differences in ion channel expression and the influence of sex hormones. However, the relationship between hormonal or racial influence and arrhythmia mechanisms, presentation, and management needs to be better defined. Women and racial and ethnic groups are less likely to undergo catheter ablation procedures for treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Underrepresentation of women and racial/ethnic groups in clinical trials has resulted in significant knowledge gaps. Whether sex and racial disparities in arrhythmia management reflect barriers in access to care, physician bias, patient values, and preferences or other factors requires further study.
