Analysis of application and match rates for clinical cardiac electrophysiology training in the United States.
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 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: Waning interest and 2 additional years of fellowship training may be barriers to recruiting applicants to fill available training positions in clinical cardiac electrophysiology. Objective: To understand changes in the annual number of training positions and applicants in clinical cardiac electrophysiology, match rates, unfilled training positions, and where applicants matched on their rank lists. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis of all applicants for clinical cardiac electrophysiology training from 2019 to 2025. Match rates and applicant-to-training position ratios were calculated. Temporal trends were assessed with linear regression. Results: Growth in the annual number of applicants (89-177, 99% increase) exceeded growth in the number of training positions (130-152, 17% increase) ( Conclusion: Growth in the annual number of applicants for electrophysiology training exceeded growth in the number of available training positions, whereas match rates and the number of annual unfilled training positions have decreased. Although these trends are encouraging, future surveillance is warranted given projected shortages in the cardiac electrophysiologist workforce.
