Atrial Fibrillation in an Elite Athlete: Continuous ECG Monitoring Guiding Therapy and Return to Play.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasing among elite athletes. This case highlights the novel use of an implantable loop recorder to guide treatment decisions for AF in an elite soccer player. CASE SUMMARY: A 25-year-old professional soccer player who had received a diagnosis of asymptomatic AF during routine screening underwent cardioversion and continuous monitoring with an implantable loop recorder. A rising AF burden prompted ablation. DISCUSSION: This case demonstrates the potential utility of advanced monitoring technologies for managing AF in athletes, particularly when symptoms are absent or minimal. Additional studies are needed to confirm whether continuous monitoring improves individualized treatment decisions and optimizes outcomes.
