1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Sudden Cardiac Death is a leading medical cause of death in athletes of all ages. Recently there has been a shift from an authoritarian approach to that of using a Shared Decision Making (SDM) model in eligibility decisions of athletes with cardiovascular decisions. SDM in elite athletics can be complex and collaboration amongst the athlete, family, physicians, athletic trainers, and institutional stakeholders is critical. SDM acknowledges the complexities of a collaboration between sports cardiologists bringing disease and sport-specific expertise, and team physicians, in complementary fashion to integrate medical knowledge, clinical uncertainty, athlete and family values, and institutional philosophies and risk tolerance.
