Blood volume measurements in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction: implications for diagnosing anemia.
Article in Congestive heart failure (Greenwich, Conn.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Racial differences in the prevalence of anemia in patients with heart failure have been noted. The diagnosis of anemia in heart failure patients can be confounded by many factors. Plasma volume expansion is one of the most prominent confounders. The authors investigated the difference of anemia prevalence using two different diagnostic techniques: peripheral hemoglobin recommended by the World Health Organization criteria and blood volume (BV) analysis. Racial disparities in the prevalence of anemia using both measures were compared. Sixty patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) underwent measurement of BV by a radio-labeled albumin technique. Anemia was defined by both WHO criteria and by measured red blood cell volume (RBCV) >10% below ideal. Anemia was found in 67% of patients by the peripheral hemoglobin technique with no racial disparity. Only 35% of the patients had anemia by the BV analysis, with a 2-fold higher prevalence among Hispanics compared with whites and blacks. In patients with HFPEF, the diagnosis of anemia based on hemoglobin is confounded by plasma volume derangements resulting in significant overdiagnosis in this cohort. Racial differences in the rate of anemia were found. Such data could have important implications for the diagnosis and management of anemia in ethnic minorities with HFPEF.
