Isolated Anterior T-Wave Inversion in Elite Athletes: Prevalence and Clinical Relevance by Sex and Sporting Discipline.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundCardiac screening of elite athletes is common internationally. Female athletes are reported to have a higher proportion of abnormal screening ECGs compared with male athletes, despite lower rates of sudden cardiac death. T-wave inversion in leads V
methodsData were obtained from the ARENA (Australasian Registry of ECGs of National Athletes) project and combined with previous athlete cohort studies from Australia and New Zealand. Sporting disciplines included Olympic sports (summer and winter), Australian football, cricket, football (soccer), and netball. Logistic regression calculated adjusted odds ratios with 95% CIs for the odds of isolated TWI
