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

backgroundImpedance cardiography is a reliable, well-tolerated, and non-invasive method used to obtain hemodynamic measurements and could potentially be useful in heart failure (HF) diagnosis, hemodynamic monitoring of critically ill patients, and help in the choice of antihypertensive therapy. The objective of this study was to determine the differences between hemodynamic parameters in a study population of hypertensive patients with and without HF, using impedance cardiography.

methodsA case-control study was designed and named the TARGET study. Participants were enrolled in two study groups: control group C, hypertensive patients without HF and the HF group, hypertensive patients with HF. A descriptive analysis was carried out to characterize the sample and differences in continuous variables were tested for statistical significance by independent sample

resultsThe study included 102 hypertensive outpatients. The control group consisted of 77 individuals (58.4% males; mean age 63.9 ± 12.5 years old) and the HF group consisted of 25 individuals (44.0% males; mean age 74.2 ± 8.7 years old). The mean Cardiac Index (CI) was 2.70 ± 1.02 L.min.m

conclusionsIn this study, hypertensive patients with HF had significantly lower values of blood flow parameters, contractility, and left work indices compared with hypertensive patients without HF. These differences reflected the incorrect hemodynamic pattern (mostly hypodynamic) of these patients. Impedance cardiography (ICG) seems to be an adequate method to reflect these differences.
