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

A 78-year-old female patient with a medical history of severe aortic stenosis and metastatic ovarian cancer with liver and right iliac bone metastases was admitted for dyspnoea that started during the same day. Six months ago, she was diagnosed with acute heart failure with a B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level at 682 pg/mL. Upon presentation, she was hypotensive (85/55 mmHg) and tachycardic (114 b.p.m.). Her BNP level was 278 pg/mL. A bedside echocardiogram showed a large pericardial effusion that was successfully drained. Ten days later, BNP was repeated and was 1147 pg/mL. The pseudonormalization of BNP level was due to the impaired ventricular stretching caused by the chronic cardiac tamponade.
