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

Background: Biomarkers are important in the diagnosis, risk stratification and management of patients with heart failure (HF). The established biomarkers of myocardial stretch, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and amino (N) portion of BNP (NT-proBNP) have been extensively studied, and early analyses have demonstrated response to exercise training. Several other biomarkers have been identified over the last decade and may provide valuable and complementary information which may guide treatment strategies, including exercise therapy. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Trials Register to 31 October 2017 was conducted for exercise-based rehabilitation trials in HF. Randomised and controlled trials that reported biomarkers, BNP, NT-proBNP, soluble ST2, galectin-3, mid-regional atrial natriuretic peptide, mid-regional adrenomedullin and copeptin, were included. Results: Forty-three studies were included in the systematic review, with 27 studies suitable for meta-analyses. Data pooling was only possible for NT-proBNP and BNP. Meta-analyses of conventional training studies demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in NT-proBNP (pmol/L); mean difference (MD) -32.80 (95% CI -56.19 to -9.42), p=0.006 and in BNP (pmol/L); MD -17.17 (95% CI -29.56 to -4.78), p=0.007. Pooled data of non-conventional training failed to demonstrate any statistically significant improvements. Conclusion: Pooled data indicated a favourable effect of conventional exercise therapy on the established biomarkers, NT-proBNP and BNP; however, this was in contrast to a number of studies that could not be pooled. Limited evidence exists as to the effect of exercise training on emerging biomarkers.
