Is there a role for invasive hemodynamic monitoring in acute heart failure management?
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The place of invasive hemodynamic monitoring in patients with acute heart failure is still debated, even though frequently used. Invasive techniques, which include the pulmonary artery catheter and transpulmonary thermodilution, provide important information on cardiac output and intravascular pressures or volume. These techniques should be used in combination with echocardiography and allow nurse-driven semicontinuous hemodynamic monitoring. These techniques are useful not only in the diagnosis of circulatory or respiratory failure but also for the evaluation of the effects of therapies. Admittedly, large-scale randomized trials failed to demonstrate a survival benefit with the pulmonary artery catheter (and were even not yet performed with transpulmonary thermodilution). However, these trials may be subjected to selection bias, as patients from recruiting centers not included in the trial but receiving the pulmonary artery catheter were more severe and had higher mortality rates than patient included in the trial. Hence, invasive techniques may still have a place in selected patients with acute circulatory failure and especially in the most severe cases.
