Review in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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) in the elderly, besides being a leading cause of mortality and morbidity, is rapidly increasing in prevalence with patients aged 65 and older accounting for more than 75% of heart failure hospitalizations. Elderly patients have historically been unrepresented in clinical HF trials and often present with multiple comorbidities, including frailty, depression, nutritional, functional and cognitive impairments. Additionally, pharmacologic challenges such as adherence to therapy, polypharmacy, altered drug pharmacokinetics and/or renal derangements make them less likely to receive guideline-directed medical therapies for HF. Recognition of these various interrelated domains is key and should prompt a multidisciplinary, holistic management approach so as to optimize prognosis in this vulnerable subset of the population.
