A qualitative crossroads of rhythm and race: Black patients' experiences living with atrial fibrillation.
Article in American heart journal plus : cardiology research and practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Importance: Race-based disparities in atrial fibrillation (AF) outcomes are well-documented, but few studies have investigated individuals' experiences of living with the condition, particularly among Black individuals. Objective: We aimed to identify common themes and challenges experienced by individuals of Black race with AF. Design: A tailored, qualitative script was developed to assess the perspectives of participants in focus groups. Setting: Virtual focus groups. Participants: Three focus groups of 4-6 participants (16 participants total) were recruited from the racial/ethnic minority participants in the Mobile Relational Agent to Enhance Atrial Fibrillation Self-care Trial. Main outcomes and measures: Focus group transcripts were inductively coded to identify common themes. Results: Nearly all participants self-identified as Black race ( Conclusions and relevance: Participants reported AF is unpredictable and challenging to manage, and that social and community supports are essential. The social and behavioral themes identified in this qualitative research highlight the need for tailored clinical strategies for AF self-management which incorporate individuals' social contexts. Trial registration: National Clinical Trial number 04075994.
