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) is a widespread syndrome due to left ventricular dysfunction with high mortality, morbidity and health-care costs. Beta-blockers, together with diuretics and ACE-inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, are a cornerstone of HF therapy, as they reduce mortality and morbidity. Nevertheless, their efficacy varies among patients, and genetics is likely to be one of the modifying factors. In this article, literature on the role of candidate genes on the development of HF, its prognosis and pharmacogenomics of β-blockers in patients with HF is reviewed. The available findings do not support, at the present time, a role for genetic tests in the treatment of HF. More large-scale genome-wide studies with adequate methodology and statistical analysis are required before considering genetic tailoring of HF therapy in patients with systolic HF.
