1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Current evidence suggests that almost half of all children with cardiomyopathy and symptomatic heart failure will die or require a cardiac transplant within 5 years of diagnosis. The recognition, diagnostic assessment, and treatment of heart failure in children are therefore challenging undertakings, to say the least. It involves an assessment of cardiac appearance and function, adaptation of the child as a whole, and a diagnostic approach that evaluates many possible root causes. This review is intended to assist the practicing pediatrician and cardiologist by providing a framework for this diagnostic assessment and to give an overview of the treatment options available for children with heart failure. In this first part, we will focus on clinical evaluation, diagnostic testing, and initial medical management. In the second part of this series, the maintenance treatment and treatment options applicable when medical treatment is insufficient will be addressed.
