Similar Events but Contrasting Impact: Appraising the Global Digital Reach of World Heart Day and Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month.
Article in Global heart, 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
Background: With over 18.6 million deaths annually, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. One such complication of CVDs that can result in stroke is atrial fibrillation (Afib). As part of global outreach and awareness, World Heart Day and Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month are celebrated annually on 29 September and the month of September, respectively. Both of these events are important cardiovascular awareness initiatives to assist public education and develop awareness strategies, and they have received considerable support from leading international organizations. Objective: We studied the global digital impact of these campaigns via Google Trends and Twitter. Methods: We evaluated the overall number of tweets, impressions, popularity and top keywords/hashtags, and interest by region to determine the digital impact using various analytical tools. Hashtag network analysis was done using ForceAtlas2 model. Beyond social media, Google Trends web search analysis was carried out for both awareness campaigns to examine 'interest by region' over the past five years by analyzing relative search volume. Results: #WorldHeartDay and #UseHeart (dedicated social media hashtags for World Heart Day by the World Heart Federation) alone amassed over 1.005 billion and 41.89 million impressions as compared with the 1.62 million and 4.42 million impressions of #AfibMonth and #AfibAwarenessMonth, respectively. On Google Trends web search analysis, the impact of Afib awareness month was limited to the USA, but World Heart Day had a comparatively global reach with limited digital involvement in the African continent. Conclusions: World Heart Day and Afib awareness month present a compelling case study of vast digital impact and the effectiveness of targeted campaigning using specific themes and keywords. Though the efforts of the backing organizations are commended, planning and collaboration are needed to further widen the reach of Afib awareness month.
