Trial report in The American journal of cardiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06286423 (Colchicine in Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction), which is not on this map. Cited by 44 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.

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.

Abstract

Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a cytokine involved in atherothrombosis and is known to depress cardiac function. We hypothesized that blocking IL-1β in patients with symptomatic systolic heart failure (HF) would improve their cardiorespiratory fitness. The purpose of the study was to measure changes in peak oxygen consumption (VO
