Philosophical implications of the systemic and patient-oriented management of chronic heart failure.
Article in Journal of religion and health, 2011. 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
Chronic heart failure is a lifelong disease that involves a large variety of symptoms and, ultimately, the entire organism relatively early in the disease process. At least in part, this is in contrast to other chronic conditions such as diabetes, renal failure or cancer. Modern treatment of patients with chronic heart failure goes beyond the mere prescription of vasodilators or inotropes. The multitude of multi-organ involvements and associated symptoms unrelated to pure cardiac contractile failure, as well as the psychosocial burden for patients and their direct environment, calls for a re-engagement with the philosophical aspects of medical care. Such a process may well challenge the approach commonly taken by health care providers. We further suggest a broader and more holistic view of medical care--in this case in regard to heart failure--and one that is based on patients' and physicians' understanding of health and disease, autonomy, suffering, existential values and expectations that might positively affect treatment strategies and outcomes.
