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

purpose of reviewHeart failure is a growing epidemic. Optimal medical therapy remains the cornerstone of heart failure management but device-based therapies have been shown to contribute to morbidity and mortality reduction. RECENT

findingsMultiple investigational trials had been conducted in the past decade that helped us better understand and manage heart failure. In this manuscript, we will discuss the major device related trials of year 2017 in the fields of defibrillators, hemodynamic monitoring, remote monitoring, autonomic nervous system modulation, ventricular assist devices, and device-based valvular heart disease management. Further research and trials in device-based therapies are needed to explore their long-term reduction in mortality and morbidity along with cost-effectiveness analyses in patients living with heart failure.
