Prevalence and Predictors of Statin Treatment Among Patients With Chronic Heart Failure at a Tertiary-Care Center in Thailand.
Article in Clinical Medicine Insights. Cardiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStatins play important roles in the prevention of atherosclerotic vascular diseases; however, their beneficial effects in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of treatment with statins to better understand their prescribing patterns in CHF patients.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study in patients with first-time diagnoses of CHF receiving care in the outpatient clinics affiliated with a tertiary-care teaching hospital in Thailand. Data were retrieved from electronic claims database. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of treatment with statins.
resultsA total of 3445 patients were included in this study. Among them, 1908 (55.4%) were prescribed statins, with most of them (89.7%) receiving simvastatin 20 mg daily. Factors independently associated with the statin treatment include the following: being male (odds ratio [OR] = 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02-1.44,
conclusionsStatins were prescribed to more than half of the newly diagnosed CHF patients. Independent predictors of statin treatments include hypercholesterolemia and comorbidities indicative of high atherosclerotic vascular risk as well as drugs recommended as cardiovascular protective therapy for CHF patients.
