Role of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors in heart failure: emerging data and concepts.
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Novel treatment of congestive heart failure (HF) involves utilizing unique pathways to improve upon contemporary therapies. Increasing the availability of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) by inhibition of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) is a relatively new, but promising therapeutic strategy. Preclinical studies suggest a favorable myocardial effect of PDE5 inhibitors by blocking adrenergic, hypertrophic and pro-apoptotic signaling, thereby supporting their use in HF. The clinical benefits of acute and chronic PDE5 inhibition on lung diffusion capacity, exercise performance and ejection fraction in humans are emerging and appear promising. Larger, controlled trials are now on-going to assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of PDE5 inhibitors on morbidity and mortality in patients with both systolic and diastolic heart failure. If the results of these trials are positive, a new avenue for the treatment of HF will open, which will help curtail the societal effects of this costly and morbid disease.
