Epidemiology and aetiology of sudden cardiac death in athletes.
Article in The British journal of cardiology, 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
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a devastating and tragic occurrence that may affect individuals of all ages. It is defined as an unexpected death occurring within one hour of the onset of symptoms, if witnessed, or within 24 hours of last being seen alive and well, if unwitnessed. Athletes are considered to be the healthiest of all the population, and exercise is known to reduce the risk of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. However, both amateur and highly trained athletes do die suddenly and unexpectedly, and this gets widespread media attention as it is so shocking and unexpected. This brings SCD, its frequency and causes into the spotlight. This review focuses on the epidemiology and aetiology of SCD in athletes from a pathological perspective.
