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

Heart failure (HF) is the fourth-most frequent cause of death and remains a challenge for public health. Therapy goals for HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are the improvement in the quality of life, prolonged survival, a reduction of signs and symptoms, and the prevention of hospitalization. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists are the treatments of choice for HFrEF. Although ivabradine is not available in all countries, it is likely a new promising approach to improve outcomes in patients with HFrEF, either alone or with beta-blockers. Here, we review the current knowledge about ivabradine in HFrEF and assess its effect on outcomes in HF.
