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

The objectives of the study were to characterize and compare different acute heart failure (AHF) subgroups according to left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in terms of all-cause mortality and HF-related readmissions during the 1-year follow-up (FU). Three hundred and fifty-six AHF patients admitted to Cardiology ward and/or CCU were retrospectively included in the study and analyzed during the 1-year FU. Patients were stratified according to LVEF as those with preserved (HFpEF), midrange (HFmrEF) and reduced LVEF (HFrEF). During the FU period, 148 (43.3%) patients died, and 116 HF-related readmission events were recorded. HFmrEF group had significantly higher standardized all-cause mortality rate, unadjusted for age, compared to HFpEF group and significantly lower than HFrEF group (41 vs. 18 and 41 vs. 62.5 events per 100 patient-years; χ
