Impact of Web-Based Medical Education on Rhythm Control in Atrial Fibrillation: Retrospective Case-Control Analysis.
Article in Journal of CME, 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
Antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy remains underutilised in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), despite guideline recommendations. Web-based continuing medical education (CME) may improve clinician knowledge and performance, buteffect on real-world practice is less clear. This study evaluated the impact of CME on knowledge, competence, and confidence in rhythm control with AADs, and assessed real-world AAD use among cardiologists, internal medicine (IM), and general practitioners (GP). The study included two phases. Phase 1 assessed CME outcomes in a pre/post study of 207 US physicians. Phase 2 examined practice patterns through a retrospective, matched comparison of 501 physicians with claims data. Phase 1 demonstrated a 22% improvement in guideline-based AAD knowledge (59% vs 72%,
