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

The Cardiorenal Rescue Study in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (CARRESS-HF) trial was a prospective, randomized study comparing ultrafiltration versus pharmacological therapy in the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) complicated by cardiorenal syndrome Bart et al. (N Eng J Med 367:2296-2304, 1). The study found that ultrafiltration was inferior to pharmacological therapy, resulting in a significant increase in serum creatinine and serious adverse events while producing no significant difference in weight loss. The CARRESS trial calls into question the viability of ultrafiltration as a preferable treatment strategy in ADHF patients with cardiorenal syndrome.
