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

Heart failure (HF), being a disease of the elderly, is associated with several noncardiac comorbidities, defined as chronic conditions coexisting with HF that play an integral role in its development, progression, and response to treatment. These include pulmonary dysfunction, sleep-disordered breathing, renal dysfunction, liver dysfunction, anaemia, thyroid disorders, diabetes mellitus, skeletal myopathy, depression, and cognitive impairment. The noncardiac comorbidity burden is higher and associated with higher non-HF hospitalizations in patients with HF and preserved, as compared with those with HF and reduced, left-ventricular ejection fraction. Since chronic inflammation is a characteristic feature of both HF and the coexisting morbidities, it may play a pivotal role in their development, progression, and interactions.
