Gender disparity in quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation during the Syrian conflict: An observational cohort study.
Article in Heart rhythm O2, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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: The EuroQoL 5 dimensions is the first validated questionnaire to assess quality of life (QoL) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in Syria. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the gender disparity in QoL in Syrian patients with AF during the ongoing conflict. Methods: The study involved patients admitted to the emergency department of Tishreen University Hospital in Latakia, Syria, with AF as the primary diagnosis between June 2023 and June 2024. Arabic versions of the EuroQoL 5 dimensions were administered to patients on admission, and their demographic data were taken from their medical notes. Results: A total of 406 satisfied the study criteria, of whom 180 (44%) were males; and the median age was 67 (57- 73) years. Compared with men, women had more congestive cardiac failure (CCF) (32% vs 22%; Conclusion: Syrian women admitted with AF had poorer QoL than did their men counterparts. CCF and female sex were independent predictors of poor QoL.
