A novel strategy to reduce the readmission rates in congestive heart failure: intermittent empirical intravenous diuretics.

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
Improvements in the medical management of heart failure have changed the course of the disease. However, mortality rates, hospitalization rates, and treatment costs are not at desired levels. Diuretics have been widely used in the treatment of congestion in heart failure patients. The following case reports represent a special patient group treated and followed by cardiology clinic. Treatment approach of each case report has been tailored on an individual basis depending on the clinical course and hospitalization rates of patients. Authors have highlighted and discussed the common aspects and future perspectives of their cases in which post-discharge intermittent empirical intravenous diuretic administration dramatically improved the clinical status and readmission number due to decompensated congestive heart failure. This is a relatively new and promising approach, which has been thought to cease the recycle of diuretic resistance and silent increase of fluid congestion in patients with congestive heart failure and frequent hospitalization.
