Heart failure readmissions.
Article in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
opinion statementHeart failure readmissions (HFR) represent a personal burden for patients and a large financial burden for the healthcare system. As such, strategies to decrease HFR are avidly sought and studied. There are many reasons for HFR that challenge programs aimed to reduce the frequency of HFR. Large pharmacological and device trials often incorporate hospital admission as an endpoint, and many programs have been developed in varied settings to address HFR. Some of the most successful programs use a multidisciplinary team approach, intensive patient education and system commitment. Many risk factors for HFR have been identified although prediction tools are limited. The reduction of HFR should incorporate a multidisciplinary approach with 1) evidenced-based physician-guided medical and device therapy; 2) institutional programs for effective care transitions; 3) strategies aimed to improve disease management; and 4) engage patients in self-care.
