Electrical Heterogeneity in Hispanic Background Subpopulations: The HCHS/SOL.
Article in JACC. Advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: The Hispanic/Latino population is not uniform. Prevalence and clinical outcomes of cardiac arrhythmias in ethnic background subgroups are variable, but the reasons for differences are unclear. Vectorcardiographic Global Electrical Heterogeneity (GEH) has been shown to be associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare GEH in Hispanic/Latino background subpopulations. We hypothesized that ethnicity category moderates an association of prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD) with GEH. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the HCHS/SOL (Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos) included 15,684 participants (mean age 41 years; 38% Mexican, 20% Cuban, 16% Puerto Rican, 10% Dominican, 7% Central American, 5% South American, 4% mixed Hispanic/Latino background). Acculturation and socioeconomic data were collected. GEH was measured as spatial QRS-T angle, spatial ventricular gradient (SVG) azimuth, SVG elevation, SVG magnitude, and sum absolute QRST integral. Linear regression models included interaction terms of ethnic background category by CVD and were adjusted for age, sex, education attainment, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, dyslipidemia, obesity, chronic kidney disease, physical activity, diet quality, heart rate, and rhythm. Results: The adjusted spatial QRS-T angle was significantly ( Conclusions: In CVD-free Hispanic/Latino subpopulations, cardiovascular risk factors do not fully explain GEH differences across ethnic background categories, which likely reflect unmeasured health disparities.
