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

Acute heart failure is a symptom complex of heterogeneous etiology. Clinically, it comprises a broad spectrum ranging from hypertensive pulmonary edema in patients with preserved left ventricular systolic function up to cardiogenic shock in patients with severely depressed left ventricular function. The pathophysiology of acute heart failure is based on a mismatch between myocardial pump function and afterload. Besides causal measures, vasodilators and diuretics are the mainstay of therapy. Catecholamines are indicated only when other drugs are unsuccessful. Opioids are often used in clinical practice but should be used cautiously as they are associated with a negative prognosis. Further adjunctive treatment consists of thromboembolism prophylaxis, non-invasive ventilation and in some cases mechanical circulatory support and renal replacement therapy. This article discusses the differential use of these treatment modalities.
