Phoenix from the Ashes: An Advocacy for an International Consensus for Return To Play for Athletes with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators.
Article in Sports medicine - open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This viewpoint discusses disparities in return-to-play (RTP) policies for athletes with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), highlighted by the case of professional football (soccer) player Christian Eriksen. It argues for an international consensus based on shared decision-making to harmonize national policies, balancing athlete autonomy and safety. Current RTP policies vary significantly across countries, creating inconsistencies that impact athletes' careers. Given emerging evidence on the safety of sports participation for athletes with ICDs, the application of an international standardized approach based on shared decision-making is proposed that prioritizes athlete safety without neglecting individual responsibility.
