Novel drugs for heart rate control in heart failure.
Review in Heart failure reviews, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
In patients with heart failure, increased sympathetic activity is associated with a positive chronotropic stimulation leading to accelerated resting heart rate. Elevated heart rate (HR) is a risk factor for cardiovascular events, both in the general population and in patients with heart failure. Ivabradine is a pure HR-lowering agent, and it does not affect myocardial contractility, blood pressure, intracardiac conduction, or ventricular repolarization. In clinical trials such as BEAUTIFUL, CARVIVA HF, SHIFT, and INTENSIFY in patients with systolic left ventricular dysfunction, heart rate reduction with ivabradine brought positive outcomes. However, the results of the recent meta-analysis are rather neutral. In a diabetes mouse model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), selective heart rate reduction by I
