Retrospective studies with small sample sizes comparing men and women showed that AF incidence may be higher in female endurance athletes compared to males.
“Only retrospective studies with small sample sizes that have been conducted over the last 2 decades, which compared men and women, showed that AF incidence may be higher in female endurance athletes compared to males [28,29].”
From Atrial Fibrillation in Elite Athletes: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature (2024) · cites this paper as [29]
The study text indexed under Abstract describes a prospective cohort, not a retrospective study. It also says AF in female endurance athletes was lower than in male endurance athletes—the opposite of the cited claim. The paper reports cumulative prevalence rather than incidence. (LLM, conf=0.90)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
