Clustering of Social Determinants of Health and Their Association With Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2026. 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
backgroundIndividuals with atrial fibrillation remain at high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events despite advances in treatment. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are associated with cardiovascular outcomes, yet how these factors cluster to create distinct vulnerability profiles remains poorly understood.
methodsUsing UK Biobank data, we examined 15 SDOH indicators across economic, psychological, and neighborhood domains among 3842 participants with atrial fibrillation (35.1% female). Multigroup latent class analysis evaluated sex-based differences in vulnerability pattern distribution. Cox proportional hazards models assessed the association between identified SDOH clusters and composite cardiovascular outcomes comprising major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
resultsFive distinct SDOH vulnerability clusters were identified: (1) low vulnerability across all domains, (2) primarily economic vulnerability, (3) primarily neighborhood-related vulnerability, (4) economic and neighborhood vulnerability with favorable psychological conditions, and (5) high vulnerability across all domains. Men were more represented in advantaged profiles than women (Cluster 1: 37.0% versus 26.6%; Cluster 4: 25.3% versus 14.1%), and women showed the greatest representation in the highest vulnerability cluster (Cluster 5: 35.1% versus 25.2%). Compared with Cluster 1, Cluster 2 had a 30% higher risk (hazard ratio [HR], 1.30 [95% CI, 1.07-1.58]), Cluster 4 had 37% increased risk (HR, 1.37 [95% CI, 1.13-1.68]), and Cluster 5 more than twice the risk (HR, 2.05 [95% CI, 1.67-2.52]).
conclusionsFive distinct SDOH vulnerability patterns were identified among individuals with atrial fibrillation, with economic determinants as pivotal drivers of cardiovascular risk. These findings support incorporating comprehensive SDOH assessment into atrial fibrillation clinical management.
