Cardio-Obstetrics Practice in Latin America: A Regional Survey of General Cardiologists.
Article in JACC. Advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Cardiovascular (CV) disease is a leading cause of death in pregnant women globally, especially in low- and middle-income countries including Latin America (LATAM), where there is lack of data on how cardiologists are trained in cardio-obstetrics (CO) and the practice patterns in the care of pregnant patients. Objectives: The authors aimed to identify CO competency and practice patterns among LATAM general cardiologists. Methods: An anonymous cross-sectional Google-based electronic survey was sent via email to clinical cardiologists through local American College of Cardiology chapters and CV societies. Demographics, prior CO training, and practice patterns related to pregnant patients with CV disease were assessed. Results: A total of 464 participants responded: 53% male, 52.5% from Central America and the Caribbean, 36.5% from South America, and 11% from Mexico. Most (67%) had not received didactic education in CO during fellowship; the majority expressed interest in participation in educational activities on this field, and only 18% reported practicing in centers equipped with CO teams or experts. Specific characteristics of CO practices in the region are shown in the figures. Conclusions: Based on this survey, the CV care and follow-up of pregnant patients in LATAM is suboptimal; most cardiologists report lack of CO formal education during training and feel uncomfortable providing care during pregnancy although expressed interest in enhancing their knowledge in this field.
